She Walks in Beauty

by Lord Byron (George Gordon)

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence.

When power corrupts, poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgement.

When you are growing up there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

Five Pillars of Ikigai: Starting small, releasing yourself (accepting who you are), harmony and sustainability, the joy of little things, and being in the present.

A country that tolerates evil means- evil manners, standards of ethics-for a generation, will be so poisoned that it never will have any good end.
