Emily Dickinson, from The Collected Poems; “I Think I Was Enchanted,”

[cremedelacoeur]

“Nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance. The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tenderer kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.”

“Without this love, nothing could ever be well. The more you give the more you will have to cherish. If I could offer you my veins, I’d gladly use a knife. Blood, water, sealed with a kiss: all true.”

— Jackie Kay, from Darling: New & Selected Poems; “Thrity Five,”

[violentwavesofemotion-deactivat]

“You have very dark eyes that widen when something surprises you. You are demure. You have long eyelashes. You have beautiful bone structure. You have thick dark hair. You are wearing dark red lipstick. You have those kind of looks that make a stranger think they already know you because your beauty is classic. It is known. What is not known are your thoughts. Something in your expression tells me you have recently been having not a good time of it. I don’t know what. But as soon as you opened your mouth, I knew that you wouldn’t be able to stop, that you would be forced to tell me everything. And I would have to find some way to absolve you. How do I know this? I don’t know. Only that I know it. We know things without knowing them.”

— Jackie Kay, from Wish I Was Here: Stories (2006); “Sonata,”

“I am learning to see. I do not know why it is, but everything penetrates more deeply within me and no longer stops at the place, where until now, it always used to finish. I possess an inner self of which I was ignorant.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge.
