Christy Brown
“Girl in the wind
blowing wide open
the closed doors of my life -
which way are we going?

Standing against the lurid sky
on the stark brink of ocean
arms outstretched
as if your love and hunger
would embrace the world
and I in my inner room
playing my poetic premutations
can only look and ask the unanswerable.

Brave and cunning I speak to my typewriter
knowing it will not answer back
knowing it will not reply
what I ask and do not want to hear
as you with the vast sunset merge
a multitude of dreams away
uniquely alone and outside of me
in the purity and rarity of this moment
immeasurably beyond my love and my rage

and with the dying call of gulls
the echo resounds:

Girl in the wind
throwing aside
the tight shutters of my life -
which way are we going?”
Christy Brown, Of Snails and Skylarks

Guillaume Apollinaire
“How slow life is, how violent hope is.”
Guillaume Apollinaire

“You are the most lucky person in the world, only if you BELIEVE so.”
Nitesh Aggarwaal

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
“Sometimes thou seem'st not as thyself alone, But as the meaning of all things that are.”
Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Dave Eggers
“Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?”
Dave Eggers, The Circle
