Life and Existence
D.H. Lawrence
Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.

Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Dear as remember’d kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign’d On lips that are for others; deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret; O Death in Life, the days that are no more.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
William Carlos Williams
Your kneesare a southern breeze—or a gust of snow. Agh! what sort of man was Fragonard?
Tennessee Williams
They told me to take a streetcar named Desire, and transfer to one called Cemeteries, and ride six blocks and get off at—Elysian Fields!
David Foster Wallace
Most really pretty girls have pretty ugly feet, and so does Mindy Metalman, Lenore notices, all of a sudden.
Voltaire
In Westphalie, in Baron Thunder-ten-tronckh’scastle, there was a young boy upon whom nature had bestowed the gentlest manners. His soul shined through his face. He had fairly sound judgment, with the simplest spirit; this is why, I believe, they called him Candide.
John Updike
The first breath of adultery is the freest; after it, constraints aping marriage appear.
Rabindranath Tagore
On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, ships are wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children.
Rabindranath Tagore
On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, ships are wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children.
