    Vincent van Gogh
    “Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.”
    ― Vincent Willem van Gogh

    Denise Levertov
    “In the dark I rest,
    unready for the light which dawns
    day after day,
    eager to be shared.
    Black silk, shelter me.
    I need
    more of the night before I open
    eyes and heart
    to illumination. I must still
    grow in the dark like a root
    not ready, not ready at all.”
