ET CETERA
The world asks of us
only the strength we have and we give it.
Then it asks more, and we give it.
-- Jane Hirshfield
... In tragic life, God wot,
No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
We are betrayed by what is false within
-- George Meredith
From now on
Coldly autumn winds
Will blow:
How can I bear
To sleep the long night through?
-- Otomo No Yakamochi
No, life, you cannot woo me with a part.
Let it be all or nothing! I can shoulder that!
I don't want happiness by halves,
Nor is half of sorrow what I want.
-- Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.
-- W B Yeats
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
-- Alfred Tennyson
Life, like a child, laughs,
shaking its rattle of death as it runs
-- Rabindranath Tagore
All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above -
Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.
-- Vikram Seth
MY candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends!
It gives a lovely light!
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing
and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs,
flutter and fall there
with a sigh.
-- Rabindranath Tagore
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
-- William Blake
Though my soul may set in darkness,
it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night.
-- Sarah Williams
I strive to help others, and to bring truth and harmony to the world however I can. Whether times are good or bad, you can always count on me. I'm a shoulder to cry on, a champion for the helpless, and an all around nice person.
