I have found men who didn't know how to kiss.
I've always found time to teach them.

Life and love are like hide and seek.
People spend their whole lives looking for love,
but when they finally forget to look for it, they find it.

Brahm's Lullaby
"Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight. With lilies be spread in baby's wee bed. Lay thee down and rest, may thy slumer be blessed. (x2) Lullaby and good night, with mother's delight. Bright angels around my darling may stand. They will guard thee from harm, thou shalt wake in my arms. (x2)"
- Originally in German
(Thanks Rae! =D)

Excerpt from TS Elliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized (2) upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels And sawdust (3) restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming question . . . Oh, do not ask, "What is it?" Let us go and make our visit. You'll never cease to haunt me will you, Mr. Elliot. I've seen this poem of yours one time too many... ><; |
