Reason has moons, but moons not hers!
Lie mirror'd on her sea,
Confounding her astronomers
But, O delighting me."

"Mad with joy, life and death dance to the rhythm of this music:
The hills and the sea and the earth dance:
The world of man dances in laughter and tears."

A tiger tale twofer... "Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?"
-William Blake "From the dark jungle as a tiger bright, Form from the viewless Spirit leaps to light."
-Rumi

"And Every Guiding Light Was Gone
And Every Teacher Lying--
There Was No Truth In Moving On--
There Was No Truth in Dying.
And Then The Night Commanded Me
To Enter In Her Side--
And Be As Adam Was To Eve
Before The Great Divide."
-Leonard Cohen

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my
dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

Insanity is universal. Sanity is rare.
Yet there is hope, because the
moment we perceive our insanity,
we are on our way to sanity.

The stars are blotted out,
The clouds are covering clouds
It is darkness vibrant, sonant.
In the roaring, whirling wind
Are the souls of a million lunatics
Just loosed from the prison-house,
Wrenching trees by the roots,
Sweeping all from the path.
The sea has joined the fray,
And swirls up mountain-waves,
To reach the pitchy sky.
The flash of lurid light
Reveals on every side
A thousand, thousand shades
Of Death begrimed and black —
Scattering plagues and sorrows,
Dancing mad with joy,
Come, Mother, come!-Vivekananda

Light is more important than the lantern,
The poem more important than the notebook,
And the kiss more important than the lips.
My letters to you
Are greater and more important than both of us.
They are the only documents
Where people will discover
Your beauty
And my madness.-Nizar Qabbani dvg |

A Drop fell on the Apple Tree –
Another – on the Roof –
A Half a Dozen kissed the Eaves –
And made the Gables laugh –
A few went out to help the Brook,
That went to help the Sea –
Myself Conjectured were they Pearls –
What Necklaces could be -
-Emily Dickinson

I know not what I am,
but what I know, I'm not --
A thing, yet a no-thing,
a circle, yet a dot.

There's something wild comin'
I can feel it in my bones,
something really good comin'
comin' home!
Dancing, drinking, laughing
everyone, everywhere,
something crazy comin',
comin' to end: every worry, every care! -Smoky Hoss
