“I'm tired of not talking. It seems I have never talked. I want to talk and talk forever.”
― H.D., HERmione

“May my heart always be open to little⁣
birds who are the secrets of living⁣
Whatever they sing is better than to know⁣
and if men should not hear them men are old⁣
⁣
May my mind stroll about hungry⁣
and fearless and thirsty and supple⁣
and even if it's Sunday may I be wrong⁣
for whenever men are right they are not young⁣
⁣
And may myself do nothing usefully⁣
And love yourself so more than truly⁣
There's never been quite such a fool who could fail⁣
pulling all the sky over him with one smile.”
― E.E. Cummings, Selected Poems

“Kiss me now a
thousand times &
now a hundred
more & then a
hundred & a
thousand more again
till with so many
hundred thousand
kisses you & I
shall both lose count
nor any can
from envy of
so much of kissing
put his finger
on the number
of sweet kisses
you of me &
I of you,
darling, have had.”
― Catullus, I Hate and I Love

“Out of the “orgy of destructions” which “drove her inward,” she wrote a book of hope”
― H.D., Trilogy
