William Wordsworth

“What though the radiance which was once so bright

Be now for ever taken from my sight,

Though nothing can bring back the hour

Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find

Strength in what remains behind;

In the primal sympathy

Which having been must ever be;

In the soothing thoughts that spring

Out of human suffering;

In the faith that looks through death,

In years that bring the philosophic mind.”

― William Wordsworth

Audre Lorde

“A Litany for Survival

For those of us who live at the shoreline

standing upon the constant edges of decision

crucial and alone

for those of us who cannot indulge

the passing dreams of choice

who love in doorways coming and going

in the hours between dawns

looking inward and outward

at once before and after

seeking a now that can breed

futures

like bread in our children's mouths

so their dreams will not reflect

the death of ours:

For those of us

who were imprinted with fear

like a faint line in the center of our foreheads

learning to be afraid with our mother's milk

for by this weapon

this illusion of some safety to be found

the heavy-footed hoped to silence us

For all of us

this instant and this triumph

We were never meant to survive.

And when the sun rises we are afraid

it might not remain

when the sun sets we are afraid

it might not rise in the morning

when our stomachs are full we are afraid

of indigestion

when our stomachs are empty we are afraid

we may never eat again

when we are loved we are afraid

love will vanish

when we are alone we are afraid

love will never return

and when we speak we are afraid

our words will not be heard

nor welcomed

but when we are silent

we are still afraid

So it is better to speak

remembering

we were never meant to survive.”

― Audre Lorde, The Black Unicorn: Poems

“Poetry is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”

Walt Whitman

“Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road.

Healthy, free, the world before me.

The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose.

Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune.

Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.”

― Walt Whitman, Songs for the Open Road: Poems of Travel and Adventure


Robert Burns

“My love is like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June:

My love is like the melody

That's sweetly played in tune.

How fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in love am I;

And I will love thee still, my dear,

Till all the seas gang dry.

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt with the sun;

I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only love.

And fare thee weel awhile!

And I will come again, my love,

Though it were ten thousand mile.”

― Robert Burns

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all”

Sara Teasdale

“Life has loveliness to sell,

All beautiful and splendid things,

Blue waves whitened on a cliff,

Soaring fire that sways and sings,

And children's faces looking up,

Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sell,

Music like a curve of gold,

Scent of pine trees in the rain,

Eyes that love you, arms that hold,

And for your spirit's still delight,

Holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,

Buy it and never count the cost;

For one white singing hour of peace

Count many a year of strife well lost,

And for a breath of ecstasy

Give all you have been, or could be.”

― Sara Teasdale

Carl Sandburg

“Gather the stars if you wish it so

Gather the songs and keep them.

Gather the faces of women.

Gather for keeping years and years.

And then...

Loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye.

Let the stars and songs go.

Let the faces and years go.

Loosen your hands and say good-bye.”

― Carl Sandburg


T.S. Eliot

“Who is the third who walks always beside you?

When I count, there are only you and I together

But when I look ahead up the white road

There is always another one walking beside you

Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded

I do not know whether a man or a woman

-But who is that on the other side of you?”

― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land and Other Poems


Pablo Neruda

“I love you as the plant that never blooms

but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;

thanks to your love a certain solid fragrence

risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

and:

No one can stop the river of your hands,

your eyes and their sleepiness, my dearest.

You are the trembling of time, which passes

between the vertical light and the darkening sky.

and:

From the stormy archipelagoes I brought

my windy accordian, waves of crazy rain,

the habitual slowness of natural things:

they made up my wild heart.”

― Pablo Neruda

“You should always be trying to write a poem you are unable to write, a poem you lack the technique, the language, the courage to achieve. Otherwise you're merely imitating yourself, going nowhere, because that's always easiest.”

William Wordsworth

“My heart leaps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky:

So was it when my life began;

So is it now I am a man;”

I meant not even if asked,

And I hadn't been.”

William Wordsworth

“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,

Hath had elsewhere its setting,

And cometh from afar:

Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory do we come”

T.S. Eliot

“You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;

They called me the hyacinth girl.'

—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,

Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not

Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither

Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,

Looking into the heart of light, the silence.

Od' und leer das Meer.”

― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land and Other Writings


Mahmoud Darwish

” ما― Mahmoud Darwish


“Don't do me any favors... just astonish me.”

― W.H. Auden


Vladimir Mayakovsky

“Listen!

If stars are lit

It means there is someone who needs it,

It means someone wants them to be,

That someone deems those specks of spit

Magnificent!”

― Vladimir Mayakovsky, Listen!


Cassandra Clare

“Oh, what is brighter than the light?

What is darker than the night?

What is keener than an axe?

What is softer than melting wax?

Truth is brighter than the light,

Falsehood darker than the night.

Revenge is keener than an axe,

And love is softer than melting wax.”

― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

And a Heaven in a wild flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,

And Eternity in an hour.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley

“Music, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory;

Odours, when sweet violets sicken,

Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,

Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed;

And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,

Love itself shall slumber on.”

― Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Complete Poems
