Quote by May Swenson

“Notice how a poet's games are called his "works" - and how the "work" you do to solve a poem is really play. The impulse and motive for making a poem and for solving and enjoying a poem are quite alike: both include curiosity, alertness, joy in observation and invention.”

“That moment when you desperately needed someone...but the world pushed you aside. That moment when you desperately wanted an understanding shoulder...but remained left aside....For those caught up in the fog of wanting and forsakenness...For them are these words of mine....Gaze at the dawn that makes you halt in the middle of racing thoughts....Be bewildered ...at how the meadows hold so many flowers...Delve into a book that takes you to another world....for they will come with arms around your shoulder when it is shaky...My friends...they are the bringers of light...”

“If you take someone’s happiness and laughter away, expect yours to be taken. If you disrespect someone who doesn’t desire it, then expect to be disrespected. If you judge behind someone’s back, expect judgment of yourself while you’re not around. If you insult people then expect to be insulted. What ever we send out will return to us. Kindness and understanding will always be a pinnacle in our lives.”

“How the roses of meadows..the red stretches of beauty open into a laughing sky along the walk.!... Into ecstatic oblivion, I fall as the flowers shoot from tender buds and gone is the rush of life, for I settle into a deep blooming.”
