She never had so sweet a changeling. A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Arthur Rackham 

[thepulchritudinousheart]

All I want is love, something that is so raw and wholesome it seems ethereal. Love that has such force it will make wild fires look like matchsticks. I need it. Love is the why, the driving force, turning every moment in its' presence into precious gems.

Love makes everything drip with honey and shine gold.

"to endure!"

vincent van gogh ("trees and undergrowth") robert lowell [How will the heart endure?] vincent van gogh [I must endure bad times and the waters will rise, possibly as high as the lips and possibly even higher, how can I know beforehand? But I’ll fight my fight and sell my life dearly and try to win and pull through.] rainer maria rilke [To be loved means to be consumed. To love means to radiate with inexhaustible light. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.] joan didion [Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.] elena ferrante [maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.] elena ferrante [I will give what I can give, I will take what I can take, I will endure what has to be endured.] han kang [The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure.] victor frankl [What is to give light must endure burning.]

Writing took on

a living

breathing life

all its own

because when

no one ever cared to listen

to a single word spoken

from these lips

ink and paper

hang on to every whisper

in anticipation

of what my soul will sing next

S. Williams
