[michaelbogild]

Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

[if learned darkness from our searched world]

by e. e. cummings

if learned darkness from our searched world

should wrest the rare unwisdom of thy eyes,

and if thy hands flowers of silence curled

upon a wish,to rapture should surprise

my soul slowly which on thy beauty dreams

(proud through the cold perfect night whisperless

to mark,how that asleep whitely she seems

whose lips the whole of life almost do guess)

if god should send the morning;and before

my doubting window leaves softly to stir,

of thoughtful trees whom night hath pondered o’er

—and frailties of dimension to occur

about us

and birds known, scarcely to sing

(heart,could we bear the marvel of this thing?)

[tearinducingafternoons]

“—after which our separating selves become museums filled with skillfully stuffed memories”

E.E Cummings

[xxdeadlyy-nightshadexx]

“Yes is a world

& in this world of yes live

(skilfully curled)

all worlds”

E.E. Cummings, from Tulips & Chimneys originally published in 1923

[thoughtkick]

Someone asked me what home was and all I could think of were the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside of your ribcage.

E.E. Cummings

It's not you I've lost, but the world.

a kind of loss (Ingeborg Bachmann), variations on the word love (Margaret Atwood), i am the brother of xx (Fleur Jaeggy), don't go far off, not even for a day (Pablo Neruda), recreation (Audre Lorde), wuthering heights (Emily Brontë), i carry your heart with me (e. e. cummings)

[quotemadness]

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.
