  • I should be glad of loneliness       And hours that go on broken wings, A thirsty body, a tired heart       And the unchanging ache of things, If I could make a single song       As lovely and as full of light, As hushed and brief as a falling star       On a winter night.
    Sara Teasdale
  • Go and catch a falling star, Get with child a mandrake root, Tell me where all past years are, Or who cleft the Devil's foot, Teach me to hear mermaids singing, Or to keep off envy's stinging, And find What wind Serves to advance an honest mind.
