- I love her till I die
There is a Lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.
Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,
Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles,
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,
- As I Walked Out One Evening - Auden
As I walked out one evening,
Walking down Bristol Street,
The crowds upon the pavement
Were fields of harvest wheat.
And down by the brimming river
I heard a lover sing
Under an arch of the railway:
- As I Walked Out One Evening by W. H. Auden
As I walked out one evening,
Walking down Bristol Street,
The crowds upon the pavement
Were fields of harvest wheat.
And down by the brimming river
I heard a lover sing
Under an arch of the railway:
“Love has no ending.
- Bright Star by John Keats
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
- Cold Cold Heart
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold cold heart
- Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
Иди спокойно среди шума и суеты, помни о том, какая благодать бывает в тишине.
Двигайся так далеко, насколько это возможно.
Не отрекайся от самого себя, поддерживай добрые отношения с другими людьми.
Правду свою говори спокойно и ясно.
Слушай, что тебе говорят другие: даже дуракам и невеждам есть что сказать.
Остерегайся людей крикливых и агрессивных: они травмируют твою душу.
Если сравниваешь себя с другими, то можешь стать тщеславным или озлобленным, поскольку всегда найдется тот, кто лучше или хуже тебя.
- Dover Beach - Matthew Arnold
The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand;
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
- From The Princess by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font.
The firefly wakens: waken thou with me.
Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost,
And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.
Now lies the Earth all Danaë to the stars,
And all thy heart lies open unto me.
- Hey, Good Lookin'
Say hey, good lookin. What ya got cookin?
Hows about cooking somethin up with me?
Hey, sweet baby. Don't you think maybe,
We can find us a brand new recipe?
I got a hot rod ford, and a two dollar bill;
And I know a spot right over the hill.
Theres soda pop and the dancings free
- I love her till I die
There is a Lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.
Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,
Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles,
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,
- If Music be the Food of Love by William Shakespeare
If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
- kneel
Kneel before me. I said: Kneel! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.
- Loki, Odin
Odin: STOP!
Loki: Am I cursed?
Odin: No.
Odin: What am I?
Odin: You are my son.
[Loki turns and looks at Odin]
Loki: [features briefly blue and chill] What more than that?... The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?
Odin: No. In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple and I found a baby. Small for a Giant's offspring, abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey's son.
- Love after love, by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
- Love And Friendship by Emily Bronte
Love is like the wild rose briar,
Friendship, like the holly tree
The holly is dark when the rose briar blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly?
The wild rose briar is sweet in spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air
Yet wait till winter comes again
- Lovesick Blues
I'm in love,
I'm in love,
I'm in love with a girl,
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love,
I'm in love, with a beautiful girl,
But she don't give a darn about me
to make her love me I tried,
- May I feel said he

- One Cigarette by Edwin Morgan
No smoke without you, my fire.
After you left,
your cigarette glowed on in my ashtray
and sent up a long thread of such quiet grey
I smiled to wonder who would believe its signal
of so much love. One cigarette
in the non-smoker's tray.
As the last spire
- She Walks In Beauty by Lord Byron
SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
- Song of pirate
JAMES(Tom): Oh, how high we will be,
Cause the blue fairy dust surely packs a mighty wallop
Soon it will set us free
From the chains of gravity
Then we'll hoist up the sail
And we'll set course for the sun,
Cause when you've got wings,
No wicked deed cannot be done
- Talking In Bed by Philip Larkin
Talking in bed ought to be easiest,
Lying together there goes back so far,
An emblem of two people being honest.
Yet more and more time passes silently.
Outside, the wind's incomplete unrest
Builds and disperses clouds in the sky,
And dark towns heap up on the horizon.
None of this cares for us. Nothing shows why
- The Code Of The Woosters By P.G. Wodehouse
I don’t know if you have had the same experience, but a thing I have found in life is that from time to time, as you jog along, there occur moments which you are able to recognize immediately with the naked eye as high spots. Something tells you that they are going to remain etched, if etched is the word I want, for ever on the memory and will come back to you at intervals down the years, as you are dropping off to sleep, banishing that drowsy feeling and causing you to leap on the pillow like a gaffed salmon.
Не знаю, как вы, а я уже давно установил, что в нашей жизни порой происходят события, которые резко меняют всё её течение, я такие эпизоды распознаю мгновенно и невооружённым глазом. Чутьё подсказывает мне, что они навеки запечатлеются в нашей памяти (кажется, я нашел правильное слово - запечатлеются) и будут долгие годы преследовать нас: ляжет человек вечером спать, начнёт погружаться в приятную дремоту и вдруг подскочит как ужаленный - вспомнил.
- To His Coy Mistress - Andrew Marvell
Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love's day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood,
- When You Are Old - Yeats
Когда состаришься
Когда состаришься, в вечерний час
Раскрой, сев у камина, этот том;
Мечтай за книгой, вспоминай о том,
Как мягок взор был, что теперь угас;
Что было много всякого в судьбе,
- You Hated Spain By Ted Hughes
Spain frightened you.
Spain.
Where I felt at home.
The blood-raw light,
The oiled anchovy faces, the African
Black edges to everything, frightened you.
Your schooling had somehow neglected Spain.
The wrought-iron grille, death and the Arab drum.
- You just got Loki'd
Asgardian prince so let me talk some sense
into the Midgard haters who must think I’m dense
no recompense for I’m here to usurp this
and remind you that I’m burdened with a glorious purpose
Ya it’s true I came here for the Tesseract
to make you think ruling you was my plan of attack
cut me some slack because that plan is wack
all I ever really wanted was to get back
