• "life's not a paragraph

and death i think is no parenthesis"

• "what's beyond logic happens beneath will;

nor can these moments be translated: i say that even after April by God there is no excuse for May"

• "King Christ, this world is all aleak;

and lifepreservers there are none: and waves which only He may walk Who dares to call Himself a man."

• "though life's lived wrongsideout, sameness chokes oneness

truth is confused with fact, fish boast of fishing and men are caught by worms"

• "how lucky lovers are

who dream, create and kill while the whole moves; and every part stands still:"

• "death(having lost) put on his universe

and yawned: it looks like rain"

• "there's never been quite such a fool who could fail

pulling all the sky over him with one smile"

• "I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing

than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance"

• "worms are the words but joy's the voice...

deeds cannot dream what dreams can do -time is a tree(this life one leaf) but love is the sky and i am for you just so long and long enough"

• "And if i sing you are my voice"
• "we're wonderful one times one"
• "so world is a leaf so tree is a bough

(and birds sing sweeter than books tell how)... forever was never till now"
