one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.

In play,
a child is always above his average age,
above his daily behaviour;
in play,
it is as though he were
a head taller than himself.

wherever they may come from:
from fantasy,
from the elements,
or from other inspiration.

between the higher ape
and civilised man;

The hours I spend with you
I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden,
a dim twilight,
and a fountain singing to it.
You and you alone make me feel that I am alive.
Other men it is said have seen angels,
but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

it will be a shipwreck,
and as when a huge ship sinks,
many people
all around
will be sucked down with it.

You got me singing
Even though the news is bad
You got me singing
The only song I ever had
You got me singing
Ever since the river died
You got me thinking
Of all the places we could hide
You got me singing
(Singing) even though the world is gone
You got me thinking
(Thinking 'bout our life together) that I'd like to carry on, ohh
You got me singing
(Signing) even though it all looks grim
You got me singing
(Singing) the Hallelujah hymn
You got me singing
(Singing) like a prisoner in a jail
You got me singing
(Singing) like my pardon's in the mail
You got me wishing
Wishing our little love would last
You got me thinking like those people of the past
You got me singing
Even though the world is gone
You got me thinking
(Thinking that) I'd like to carry on, ohh
You got me singing
(Singing) even though it all went wrong
You got me singing
(Singing) the Hallelujah song

… I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
… I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
… I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

Books that distribute things...
with as daring a freedom as we use in dreams,

and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time.

Instead, it appears to be a particular mark of beauty
that it is considered with tranquil satisfaction;
that it pleases if we also do not possess it
and we are still far removed from demanding to possess it.
