ARI'S MOOD BOARDS

a place for my art, poetry, and inspiration

[violentwavesofemotion-deactivat]

The August moon glitters in the kitchen / like a tin-plated pot (it gets that way because of what I’m saying to you), / it lights up the empty house and the house’s kneeling silence­ / always the silence remains kneeling. / Every word is a doorway / to a meeting, one often cancelled, / and that’s when a word is true: when it insists on the meeting.

Yannis Ritsos, tr. by Edmund Keeley, from “The Meaning of Simplicity,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

The Signs as Sylvia Plath Quotes

Aries: 

“Out of the ash I rise with my red hair and I eat men like air.” (Lady Lazarus)

Taurus:

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.” (The Bell Jar)

Gemini:

“I am still so naïve; I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don’t ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?” (The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath)

Cancer:

“How frail the human heart must be - a mirrored pool of thought. So deep and tremulous an instrument of glass that it can either sing, or weep.” (Letters Home)

Leo:

“And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.” (Tulips)

Virgo:

“It was my first big chance, but here I was, sitting back and letting it run through my fingers like so much water.” (The Bell Jar)

Libra:

“I am inhabited by a cry Nightly it flaps out Looking, with its hooks, for something to love.”  (Elm)

Scorpio:

“Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.” (Letter to Richard Sassoon)

Sagittarius:

“I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited” (The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath)

Capricorn: 

“The hardest thing is to live richly in the present without letting it be tainted out of fear for the future or regret for the past.” (Letters Home)

Aquarius:

“Stars open among the lilies. Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens? This is the silence of astounded souls.” (Crossing The Water)

Pisces: 

“I wanted to crawl in between those black lines of print, the way you crawl through a fence, and go to sleep under that beautiful big green fig-tree.” (The Bell Jar)

Like a ribbon of weed I am flung far every time the door opens. I am the foam that sweeps and fills the uttermost rims of the rocks with whiteness; I am also a girl, here in this room.

Virginia Woolf, “The Waves” (via lifeinpoetry)
