Quotes by Walter Benton (?)

“I need love more than hope or money, wisdom or a drink Because slow negative death withers the world — and only yes can turn the tide Because love has your face and body … and your hands are tender and your mouth is sweet — and God has made no other eyes like yours.”
― Walter Benton, This Is My Beloved

“I need love more than ever now ... I need your love,
I need love more than hope or money, wisdom or drink
Because slow negative death withers the world - and only yes can turn the tide”

“As the world gathers momentum toward nihilation on all fronts --- we walk apart,
each to his own lonely end . . . not hand in hand as lovers walk.”
