My heart swims the Oceans,

For my spirit fights your chains

My way of life
Is fall’n into the sear,
The yellow leaf:

The man who has not
Anything to boost of but
his illustrious ancestors is like
a potato- the only good belonging to him
Is underground
--Sir Thomas Overbury, Characters (1614)

The face is the mirror of ones mind.
The eyes a reflection of ones soul
Ones expression without sounds,
can confess the secrets of the heart,
& reveal the truth within the soul.
--Guess--

I think I could turn & live with animals,
They are so placid & self-contained.

There is no excellent beauty
That hath not some strangeness in the proportion.

Beauty is that Medusa’s Head
Which men go armed to seek & sever
It is most deadly when, most dead,

& hope is dumb
When the world says, “GO!”
The grave says “COME!”.

Into the thrill & the Shrine;
Out of the dearth & the famine,
Into the fullness divine.

I Hate & I love.
Perhaps you ask why I do so
I do not know,
But I feel it, & I am in torment

Quare id faciam,
fortasse requires.
Nescio; sed fieri sentio et excrucior.)
--Catullus, Odes, LXXXV

A feeling of sadness & longing
That’s is not akin to pain,
& resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles rain

One pain is lesson’d by another’s anguish.
--Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet, I,2.

& the devil did grin,
For his darling sin
Is pride that apes humility.
S.T. Coleridge, The Devils thoughts

To each his suff’ring: all are men,
Condemn’d alike to groan;
the tender for another’s pain,
Thus unfeeling for his own.
---Gray, ODE on a distant prospect of Eton College

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp
Acids stain you;
& drugs cause cramps.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
--Dorothy Parker, Resume

Somethings lighten nightfall
& make a Rembrandt of a grief.
But mostly the swiftness of time is a joke;
On us.
The flame-moth is unable to laugh.
What luck
The myths are dead

Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
Life is a broken –winged bird
that can not fly

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Who are these shades we wait for
& believe will come some evening
In limousines from Heaven
The rose though it knows
Is throat less
& can not say
My mortal half laughs
The code & the message are not the same
& what is an Angel
But a Ghost in Drag?
--Stan Rice
