How people can encapsulate a world of emotion in a line or two, I am wondrously and endlessly enchanted by.

Share some of the lines that stir you; I want reason to float and feel and dream.

I’ll start off with:

“I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees” ~ Pablo Neruda

Huddersfield

Cannon to the right of them

Cannon to the left of them

Cannon to the front of them

Volleyed an thunder

Stormed at with shot and shell

Boldly they rode and well

Into the jaws of death

Into the mouth of hell

Rode the six hundred.

How beautiful the sunsets these sultry days,

deep space so profound, beyond life’s brief floods ...

then, when I kissed you, my queen, in a daze,

I thought I breathed the bouquet of your blood

as beautiful as sunsets these sultry days

With you riding on it.

I will not fear my passions like a coward.

My body will I give to pleasures,

to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,

to the most daring erotic desires,

to the lustful impulses of my blood, without

any fear at all.

CP Cavafy

Sunderland

And another from Cavafy - both the memories of the best times but also the desires so close but not fulfilled...

Body, remember not only how much you were loved,

not only the beds on which you lay,

but also those desires for you

that glowed plainly in the eyes,

and trembled in the voice—and some

chance obstacle made futile.

Delta of Venus by Anais Nin

They fell on this, the three bodies in accord, moving against each other to feel breast against breast and belly against belly. They ceased to be three bodies. They became all mouths and fingers and tongues and senses. Their mouths sought another mouth, a nipple, a clitoris. They lay entangled, moving very slowly. They kissed until the kissing became a torture and the body grew restless. Their hands always found yielding flesh, an opening. The fur they lay on gave off an animal odor, which mingled with the odors of sex...They tried to come in unison, but Elena came first, falling in a heap, detached from Leila's hand, struck down by the violence of her orgasm, Leila fell beside her, offering her sex to Elena's mouth. As Elena's pleasure grew fainter, rolling away, dying off, she gave Leila her tongue, flicking in the sex's mouth until Leila contracted and moaned. She bit into Leila's tender flesh. In the paroxysm of her pleasure, Leila did not feel the teeth buried there."

Couple of pieces of eighteenth century cynicism.

Gibbon on the variety of religion in the Roman Empire

"to the populace the religions were equally true, to the philosopher equally false and to the magistrate equally useful"

Voltaire on the shooting of Admiral Byng

"the English like to shoot an admiral every now and then pour encourager les autres"

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,

Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;

They sit no more at familiar tables of home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England's foam

Hillside desolate

Others because you did not keep

That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine

Yet always when I look death in the face,

When I clamber to the heights of sleep,

Or when I grow excited with wine,

Suddenly I meet your face.

“We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won’t do harm - yes, choose a place where you won’t do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.”

Pillowed upon my fair love’s ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

"I’ve stopped worrying so much about what’s going to happen or what has already happened and I’m thinking more and more about what is. Right now.

In front of me.

And what’s in front of me is life.

Glorious, glorious life –with all its frailties, frustrations and strife. With all its passion, brilliance and excitement.

There’s nothing quite like it, you know. You should have a go at it sometime.

It really is quite worth it."
