"since feeling is first" by e.e. cummings
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all the flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis

from _Quo Vadis_
"I know, O Caesar, that thou art awaiting my arrival with impatience,
that thy true heart of a friend is yearning day and night for me. I know that
thou art ready to cover me with gifts, make me prefect of the pretorian guards,
and command Tigellinus to be that which the gods made him, a mule-driver in
those lands which thou didst inherit after poisoning Domitus. Pardon me, how-
ever, for I swear to thee by Hades, and by the shades of thy mother, thy wife,
thy brother, and Seneca, that I cannot go to thee. Life is a great treasure.
I have taken the most precious jewels from that treasure, but in life there are
many things which I cannot endure any longer. Do not suppose, I pray thee,
that I am offended because thou didst kill thy mother, thy wife, and thy
brother; that thou didst burn Rome and send to Erebus all the honest men in thy
dominions. No, grandson of Chronos. Death is the inheritance of man; from
thee other deeds could not have been expected. But to destroy one's ear for
whole years with thy poetry, to see thy belly of a Domitus on slim legs whirled
about in Pyhrric dance; to hear thy music, thy declamation, thy doggerel
verses, wretched poet of the suburbs,--is a thing surpassing my power, and it
has roused in me the wish to die. Rome stuffs its ears when it hears thee;
the world reviles thee. I can blush for thee no longer, and I have no wish to
do so. The howls of Cerberus, though resembling thy music, will be less offen-
sive to me, for I have never been the friend of Cerberus, and I need not be
ashamed of his howling. Farewell, but make not music; commit murder, but write
no verses; poison people, but dance not; be an incendiary, but play not on a
cithera. This is the wish and the last friendly counsel sent thee by the
--Arbiter Elegantiae.

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
Well there ain't no point in moving on / Until you've got somewhere to go
And the road that I have walked upon / Well it filled my pockets
And emptied out my soul

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will Withstand
I say love is the seventh wave..
