Quotes

  • Hearts starve as well as bodies: Give us Bread, but give us Roses.
  • Up in the heights of the evening skies I see my City of Cities floatIn sunset’s golden and crimson dyes: I look, and a great joy clutches my throat!Plateau of roofs by canyons crossed: windows by thousands fire-unfurled—O gazing, how the heart is lost in the Deepest City of the World!
  • They can only set free men free...And there is no need of that:Free men set themselves free.
  • Hadn't he been blowing kisses to Earth millions of years before I was born?
  • Quick as a hummingbird is my love,Dipping into the hearts of flowers—She darts so eagerly, swiftly, sweetly,Dipping into the flowers of my heart...
  • We age inevitably:The old joys fade and are gone:And at last comes equanimity and the flame burning clear.
