For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

When water is as cold as ice, you can have no idea of the latent warmth contained in it.

    Lying   Mirrors   Air

  • There is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the grass, Or night-dews on still waters between walls Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass; Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tir'd eyelids upon tir'd eyes; Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies. Here are cool mosses deep, And thro' the moss the ivies creep, And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep, And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep.

    Sweet   Wall   Lying

Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords.
