That old
miracle-Love at first sight-
Needs no explanations. The
heart reads aright Its destiny
sometimes.
Owen Meredith
They sin who
tell us love can die; With
life all other passions fly,
All others are but vanity.
Robert southey
I do not know
what it is about you that
closes and opens; Only
something n me understands the
voice of your eyes is deeper
than all roses.
E. E. Cummings
There is not a
breathing of the common wind
that will forget thee
William Wordsworth
The more of my
poor heart you take, The
larger grows my heart! And,
since some target I must show
for cupids cruel dart, Oh, if
mine own you deign to keep,
Then give me your sweet heat!
Edmond Rostand
O, thou art
fairer than the evening air
clad in the beauty of a
thousand stars
Christopher
Marlowe
Love! the
surviving gift of Heaven, The
choicest sweet of Paradise, In
life's else bitter cup
distilled
Thomas Campbell
Long after
moments of closeness have
passed, a part of you remains
with me. And warms the places
your hands have touched and
hastens my heart for your
return
Robert Sexton
Listen,
I will be honest with you
I do not offer the old smooth
prizes
But offer rough new prizes
These are the days that must
happen to you:
You shall not heap up what is
called riches,
You shall scatter with lavish
hand all that you earn or
achieve.
However sweet the laid up
stores,
However convenient the
dwelling, you shall not remain
there.
However sheltered the port,
however calm the waters, you
shall not anchor there.
However welcome the
hospitality that welcomes you,
You are permitted to receive
it but a little while Afoot
and lighthearted, take to the
open road
Healthy, free, the world
before you the long brown path
before you, leading wherever
you choose.
Say only to one another:
Camerado, I give you my hand!
I give you my love more
precious than money; I give
you myself before preaching
and law:
Will you give me yourself?
Will you come travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other
as long as we live?
Walt Whitman
Living
the Good Life
To live content with small
means, to seek elegance rather
than luxury, and refinement
rather than fashion; to be
worthy not respectable, and
wealthy not rich; to study
hard, think quietly, talk
gently, act frankly; to listen
to the stars and the birds, to
babes and sages with open
heart; to hear all cheerfully,
do all bravely, await
occasions, hurry never; in a
word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious grow
up through the common.
Reverend William Henry
Channing |
