Poetry Train

“Who does not know what it is like to go with a friend to a railway station and then to watch the train take them away? As you walk along the platform back into the city, the person who has just gone is often more there, more totally there, than when you embraced them before they climbed into the train. When we embrace to say goodbye, maybe we do it for this reason—to take into our arms what we want to keep when they’ve gone.”
― John Berger

― Britney Spears

“There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river.”

“Maremna’s high resolve is ta'en-
Faithful till Death to be, unto her vow.”
― Florence Caroline Dixie, Gloriana: or The Revolution of 1900
