A chilly Peace infests the Grass

by Emily Dickinson
 A chilly Peace infests the Grass

Shines within it. Otherwise his breast
Would not be dazzling. Nor would you recognize

To lift her Glass -- upon --

But never Stranger justified
The Curiosity
Like Mine -- for not a Foot -- nor Hand --
Nor Formula -- had...Read more of this...

Dawn, darkness, evening, space and the stars

by Emile Verhaeren
Dawn, darkness, evening, space and the stars; that which the night conceals or shows between its veils is mingled with the fervour of our exalted being. Those who live with love live with eternity.
It matters not that their reason approve or scoff, and, upright on its high walls, hold out to them, along the quays and harbours, its bright torches;...Read more of this...

Better than on a Dream intrude
To scrutinize the Sleep....Read more of this...
