Emotions and Feelings

Pussy said to the Owl, ‘You elegant fowl!

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea

‘How pleasant to know Mr Lear!’

Far and few, far and few,

There was an old man of Thermopylae,

The Dong with a luminous nose.

On the coast of Coromandel

There was an Old Man with a beard,

Who, or why, or which, or what,

Why should I let the toad work

Man hands on misery to man.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

Life is first boredom, then fear.

Life is first boredom, then fear.

When my sonnet was rejected, I exclaimed,

Nothing puzzles me more than time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less, as I never think about them.

I have had playmates, I have had companions,

[A pun] is a pistol let off at the ear; not a feather to tickle the intellect.

Your borrowers of books —those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.

Presents, I often say, endear Absents.

Il faut rire avant que d’être heureux, de peur de mourir sans avoir ri.

Il faut rire avant que d’être heureux, de peur de mourir sans avoir ri.

Le commencement et le déclin de l’amour se font sentir par l’embarras où l’on est de se trouver seuls.
