Lovers alone wear sunlight.
...and down they forgot as up they grew.
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
One's not half of two; two are halves of one.
Sweet springtime is my time is your time is our time for springtime is love time and viva sweet love.
Well, write poetry, for God's sake, it's the only thing that matters.
most people are perfectly afraid of silence
America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still.
his lips drink water but his heart drinks wine
You shall above all things be glad and young...
Laughing is just another way of showing people your wise
Meanwhile myself et cetera lay quietly in the deep mud et cetera (dreaming, et cetera, of your smile eyes knees and of your Etcetera.)
unlove's the heavenless hell and the homeless home
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It's always our self we find in the sea.
