"I saw thee ne'er before; I see thee never more; But love, and help, and pain, beautiful one, Have made thee mine, till all my years are done."
George MacDonald • Phantastes, a Faerie Romance for Men and Women
Here is a man tallied – he realizes here what he has in him, The past, the future, majesty, love – if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
Walt Whitman • The Complete Poems (Penguin Classics)
A self one does not want. A heart one cannot help.
Donna Tartt • The Goldfinch: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction)
The poet proves that language is inadequate by throwing herself at the fence of language and being bound by it.
George Saunders • A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading, and Life
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
