I bought a rose, a red, red rose.

Put it in a bottle and threw it out to sea.

Whoever finds it, there is no map.

Julia Vinograd, “Valentine”

Silence. Ashes

in the grate. Whatever it is

that keeps us from heaven,

sloth, wrath, greed, fear,

could we only reinvent it on earth

as song.

Galway Kinnell, “Last Song”

Those mortals with whom we couple or have coupled,

Clinging to our swan-suits, our bull-skins,

Our masquerades in coin and shrubbery.

Carolyn Kizer, “The Copulating Gods”

But, present still, though now unseen,

When brightly shines the prosperous day,

Be thoughts of thee a cloudy screen,

To temper the deceitful ray.

Sir Walter Scott, “Hymn of the Hebrew Maid”

You’re in my eyes.

How else could I see light?

You’re in my brain.

This wild joy.

If love did not live in matter,

how would any place have any hold on anyone?

Rumi

Ask again later

Lord, you are my lover, my longing,

my flowing stream, my sun, and I am your reflection.

Mechthild of Magdeburg

Oh my Lord, the stars glitter and the

eyes of men are closed.

Rabi’a

He that is grounded in astrology,

Enriched with tongues, well seen in minerals,

Hath all the principles magic doth require.

Christopher Marlowe, “Dr. Faustus. Act 1”
