It is a lonesome Glee

by Emily Dickinson

774

It is a lonesome Glee-
Yet sanctifies the Mind-
With fair association-
Afar upon the Wind

A Bird to overhear
Delight without a Cause-
Arrestless as invisible-
A matter of the Skies.

John Lars Zwerenz

Elizabeth Bishop

Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else.

• Jose Ortega y Gasset

by John Vance Cheney

A sprig of mint by the wayward brook, A nibble of birch in the wood, A summer day and love and a book, And I would n't be king if I could.
