"Hedge, that divides the lovely"

Torquato Tasso

Hedge, that divides the lovely
Garden, and myself from me,
Never in you so fair a rose I see
As she who is my lady,
Loving, sweet and holy:
Who as I stretch my hand to you
Presses it, so softly, too.




Quotes of the Day

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
• A. A. Milne

    by Carl Sandburg
    Close-mouthed you sat five thousand years and never let out a whisper. Processions came by, marchers, asking questions you answered with grey eyes never blinking, shut lips never talking.
