Pippin

“Love? Do I love? I walk
Within the brilliance of another's thought,
As in a glory. I was dark before,
as Venus' chapel in the black of night:
But there was something holy in the darkness,
Softer and not so thick as the other where;
And as rich moonlight may be to the blind,
Unconsciously consoling. Then love came,
Like the out-bursting of a trodden star.”
― Thomas Lovell Beddoes

“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
― Francis Bacon

“Do you find it easy to get drunk on words?"

"So easy that, to tell you the truth, I am seldom perfectly sober.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

“He is dead and gone, lady,
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
