You threw yourself in with me

Made a cross and you lit a candle"

Quote of the Day

"If I should die,
And you should live,
And time should gurgle on,
And morn should beam,
And noon should burn,
As it has usual done;
If birds should build as early,
And bees as bustling go,—
One might depart at option
From enterprise below!
’T is sweet to know that stocks will stand
When we with daisies lie,
That commerce will continue,
And trades as briskly fly.
It makes the parting tranquil
And keeps the soul serene,
That gentlemen so sprightly
Conduct the pleasing scene!"
- Emily Dickinson, "If I Should Die (54)"

Quote of the Day

"Again I reply to the triple winds
running chromatic fifths of derision
outside my window:
    Play louder.
You will not succeed. I am
bound more to my sentences
the more you batter at me
to follow you.
    And the wind,
as before, fingers perfectly
its derisive music."
- William Carlos Williams, "January"
