In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;

Petals on a wet, black bough.

Yeats does it again

The fire that stirs about her, when she stirs,
Burns but more clearly. O she had not these ways
When all the wild summer was in her gaze.

La Dolce Far Niente

(The Sweetness of Doing Nothing)

Posted 1 year ago
People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you and then they leave. And thank God for it.

Desiderata

Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
