Quotes

  • wonderhoyhas quotedlast year
    The spirit of life and love that triumphs still
    In its slow struggle towards some far-off goal
    Through lust and death and the bitterness of will.
  • wonderhoyhas quotedlast year

    Could kiss her hair! As if by chance, her hand

    Or is she pedestalled above the touch

    From her that little, that infinitely much?
    And suddenly she kissed him on the cheek.

    Of that great earth that draws a breath and stirs
    To meet the spring. But I could wish my heart
    Were still a winter of frosty gossamers.
