“No - the stars are close and dear and I have joined the brotherhood of the worlds. And everything's holy - everything, even me.”
― John Steinbeck

“Rain in a foreign city is different from rain in a place you know. I can’t explain this, while snow is the same everywhere.”
― Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces

“I who never knew what it was the broom tree meant now wonder to find the road to Sonohara led me so far from my way.”
― Murasaki Shikubu, The Tale of Genji

“I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,
Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, all the time, because the dance was long;
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.

I cried for madder music and for stronger wine,
But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire,
Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine;
And I am desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, hungry for the lips of my desire:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.”
― Ernest Dowson, The Poems and Prose of Ernest Dowson
