“i remembered you with my soul clenched
in that sadness of mine that you know.
where were you then?
who else was there?
saying what?
why will the whole of love come on me suddenly
when i am sad and feel you are far away?”
excerpt from “we have lost even,” pablo neruda

‘all flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.

“[the Lord] satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul He fills with good things.”
psalm 107:9
(via prettyfoods)
“so, we’ll go no more a roving
so late into the night,
though the heart be still as loving,
and the moon be still as bright.
for the sword outwears its sheath,
and the soul wears out the breast,
and the heart must pause to breathe,
and love itself have rest.
though the night was made for loving,
and the day returns too soon,
yet we’ll go no more a roving
by the light of the moon.”
