"The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours."

‘He saw the Greek roots in enthusiasm—the word means divine possession—and knew that the poet "speaks adequately only when he speaks somewhat wildly...Not with intellect alone, but with intellect inebriated by nectar." ’

It is the hour when from the boughs
the nightingale's high note is heard
it is the hour -- when lover's vows
seem sweet in every whisper'd word .....

Happiness is in
the quiet,
ordinary things.
A table, a chair,
a book with a
paper-knife stuck
between the pages.
And the petal
falling from the
rose, and the
light flickering
as we sit silent.
Virginia Woolf ( The Waves )

Slowly
the west reaches for clothes of new colours ~
you look
and soon these two worlds both leave you
one part climbs toward heaven
one sinks to earth ~
one moment your life is a stone in you
and the next, a star ~
