Not for the flag Of any land because myself was born there Will I give up my life. But I will love that land where man is free, And that will I defend.
mother daughter heart
I am all the time talking about you, and bragging, to one person or another. I am like the Ancient Mariner, who had a tale in his heart he must unfold to all. I am always buttonholing somebody and saying, "Someday you must meet my mother."

You see, I am a poet, and not quite right in the head, darling. It’s only that.

No one but Night, with tears on her dark face, watches beside me in this windy place.

Sorrow like a ceaseless rain Beats upon my heart. People twist and scream in pain-- Dawn will find them still again; This has neither wax nor wane, Neither stop nor start.

I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.

My heart is warm with the friends I make, And better friends I'll not be knowing, Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take, No matter where it's going.

The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.

Night falls fast. Today is in the past.
