Dylan Thomas, from "Poem in October", Selected Poems: 1934-1952
ah, an essay question about nature poetry and so on, that might cheer me up!
...why. WALES WOULD IT KILL YOU TO CHEER UP ONCE IN A WHILE. YOU’RE KILLING ME HERE.
Some of the royal palms stand...Stripped of their branches, like tall brown pillars, still they stand--defiant.
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea
I hated the place. I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea
Watching the red and yellow flowers in the sun thinking of nothing, it was as if a door opened and I was somewhere else, someone else. Not myself any longer.
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea
I turned around and saw the sky. It was red and all my life was in it.
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea
Nights and days and days and nights, hundreds of them slipping through my fingers...
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea
We kissed each other in that stupid room. Spread fans decorated the walls. We had often kissed before but not like that. That was the life and death kiss and you only know a long time afterward what it is, the life and death kiss.
