A photo by Elliott Erwitt, Moscow, 1968

O, had I only never acted! By how much hope would I be richer! Yes, only forget that there are men, my starving, troubled, ceaselessly agitated heart! and return whence you came, into the arms of nature; the changeless, the silent, and the beautiful.

Friedrich Hölderlin, Hyperion.

The poet, therefore, is truly the thief of fire. He is responsible for humanity, for animals even; he will have to make sure his visions can be smelled, fondled, listened to; if what he brings back from beyond has form, he gives it form; if it has none, he gives it none. A language must be found…of the soul, for the soul and will include everything: perfumes, sounds, colors, thought grappling with thought.

Arthur Rimbaud (via iopanosiris)

“What the gods give, they quickly take away. Don’t squander the gold of your days. Live. Let nothing be lost upon you. Be afraid of nothing. As we grow older, our memories are haunted… by the exquisite temptations we hadn’t the courage to yield to. The world is yours for a season. It would be tragic if you realized too late… as so many others do… that there is only one thing in the world worth having, and that is youth.”

George Sanders in The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945).
