List 10
2. But I heard him exclaim 'ere he drove out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"(from A Visit from Saint Nicholas)
3. "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
4. for life’s not a paragraph and death i think is no parenthesis
--e.e. cummings, since feeling is first
5. What happens to a dream deferred?Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes
6. "Their's not to make reply,Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die."
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
(The Charge of the Light Brigade)
7. What immortal hand or eye,Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
William Blake, The Tyger
8. "Oh my love is like a red, red rose."Robert Burns
9. “Man, born of woman,
Is short-lived and filled with trouble.
He comes up like a blossom and then withers away;
He flees like a shadow and disappears.
Yes, you have fixed your eye upon him,
And you bring him into judgment with yourself.
Who can produce someone clean from someone unclean?
No one can!
If his days are decided,
The number of his months is with you;
You have set a limit for him that he may not go beyond.
Turn your gaze away from him so that he may rest,
Until, like a hired worker, he finishes out his day."
Job, NWT
10. What might have been and what has been
Point to one end which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose garden.
T.S. Eliot, Burnt Norton
Name 10 Nobel Prize Winners for Literature
8. Harold Pinter
1. See the pyramids along the NileWatch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when its wet with rain
Just remember till youre home again
You belong to me
"You Belong to Me"
2. TimeTicking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can
When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire
Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell.
3. Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me overBut had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
"Somebody That I Used To Know"
4. "Too Many Fish in the Sea"Listen here, girls
Take this advice, and remember always in life:
Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love and lose, you must stand tall
'Cause we all got to cry sometimes
I said, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together
No use crying forever
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
My mother once told me something
And every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella
Who doesn't love you
He'll only mislead you
Only grieve you
Don't worry about him
Do without him
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
Well, if the fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook and keep on trying
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't want me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me, now
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't need nobody that don't need me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't love me, now
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
5. As Time Goes ByYou must remember this,
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply as time goes by.
And when two lovers woo,
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely.
No matter what the future brings as time goes by.
It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory,
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
6. I'll Be Seeing YouI'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small café, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
7. My Girl by The TemptationsI've got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May. I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me. I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees. I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way?
8. I've Just Seen a Face by The BeatlesI've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place that we just met
she's just a girl for me
and I want all the world to see that we've met
mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
and I'd have never been aware
but as it is I'll dream of her tonight
da, da, da, da, da, da
falling, yes I am falling
and she keeps calling
me back again
I have never known the like of this
I've been alone and I have
missed things and kept out of sight
for other girls were never quite like this
mm, mm, mm, da, da, da
falling, yes I am falling
and she keeps calling
me back again
9. Can't Get It Out of my HeadMidnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave's chicane,
Staring as she called my name
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now the whole world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head.
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebbtide.
Morning, don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light
And I can't get it out of my head etc.
10. Wanna Be By Spice GirlsIf you wanna be my lover you gotta get with my friends
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover
You have got to give
Taking is too easy
But that's the way it is
