“Come to us and quackle and quank. Relieve us of our stirrings With your fangs so sharp and bright Take this blood that's always purring. Through our hollow bones it flows To each feather and downy fluff. Quell the terrible, horrid urge that so often prinkles us, Still our dreams, make slow our thoughts Let tranquillity flood our veins. Come to us and drink your fill So we might end our pains. - The Owls at St. Aegolius calling to the bats”

“Come tutte le cose pure e dotate di una forza prorompente, le parole di Nietzsche potevano portare nel mondo meraviglie e condurre l’anima nei più alti cieli dell’infinito, ed al contempo, se impresse nel cuore della persona sbagliata, avrebbero scatenato potenze infere ed oscure. In fondo era lo stesso anche per il Graal: miracoloso in mano ad un santo e rovinoso in quelle del cavaliere rinnegato.”

“Come up into the hills, O my young love. Return! O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again, as first I knew you in the timeless valley, where we shall feel ourselves anew, bedded on magic in the month of June. There was a place where all the sun went glistening in your hair, and from the hill we could have put a finger on a star. Where is the day that melted into one rich noise? Where the music of your flesh, the rhyme of your teeth, the dainty languor of your legs, your small firm arms, your slender fingers, to be bitten like an apple, and the little cherry-teats of your white breasts? And where are all the tiny wires of finespun maidenhair? Quick are the mouths of earth, and quick the teeth that fed upon this loveliness. You who were made for music, will hear music no more: in your dark house the winds are silent. Ghost, ghost, come back from that marriage that we did not foresee, return not into life, but into magic, where we have never died, into the enchanted wood, where we still life, strewn on the grass. Come up into the hills, O my young love: return. O lost, and by the wind grieved ghost, come back again.”

And the broad arching portals of the grove
Welcome thy entering.”

“Come with me,' Cardan says again, drawing me away from the blood-soaked star chart and the others taking their lessons. 'I am a prince of Faerie. You have to do what I want.'
He leads me to the dappled shade of an oak tree, then lifts me up so I am seated on a low branch. He keeps his hands on my waist and moves closer, so that he's standing between my thighs.
'Isn't this better?' he says, gazing up at me.
I am not sure what he means, but I nod.
'You're so beautiful.' He begins to trace patterns on my arms, then runs his hands down my sides. 'So very beautiful.'
His voice is soft, and I make the mistake of looking into his black eyes, at his wicked, curving mouth.
'But your beauty will fade,' he continues, just as softly, speaking like a lover. His hands linger, making my stomach tighten and warmth pool in my belly. 'This smooth skin will wrinkle and spot. It will become as thin as cobwebs. These breasts will droop. Your hair will grow dull and thin. Your teeth will yellow. And all you have and all you are will rot away to nothing. You will be nothing. You are nothing.'
'I'm nothing,' I echo, feeling helpless in the face of his words.
'You come from nothing, and it is to nothing you will return,' he whispers against my neck.
A sudden panic overtakes me. I need to get away from him. I push off the edge of the branch, but I don't hit the ground. I just fall and fall and fall through the air, dropping like Alice down the rabbit hole.”

“Come with me.” He led her to the beach again, but during dinner a few people had been busy. It was now lined with an aisle of candles. A man stood close to the breaking surf, hands crossed, waiting. Someone had used the surrounding sand as a canvas, creating a swirling pattern. Their names were part of the art.
What? She asked without a sound.
“I want you to marry me. Here. Now.”
Beckett let go of her hand and strode away from her. When he turned around, close to the water at the end of the aisle, he hoped to hell she wasn’t running in the other direction.”

“Come with me if you want to live.”
Neva stared at the enormous hand the stranger extended her. Her gaze followed the black leather-clad arm up to the massive shoulders, the strong jaw, and the thick lock of wavy blonde hair hanging over his dark glasses. “You have so got to be kidding me,” she said.

Just let's let our words rest
Time for you to
Join God’s shibboleth

The truth inside
A gift from the Almighty
The truth inside
Your spirit is heavenly
Heed my words dear one
Signing off Mowlavi”

“Come with me now and leave the land of
Pelops, mighty sons of Zeus and Leda,
and in kindness spread your light on us,
Kastor and Polydeukes.
You who wander above the long earth
and over all the seas on swift horses,
easily delivering mariners
from pitiful death,
fly to the masthead of our swift ship,
and gazing over foremast and forstays,
light a clear path through the midnight gloom
for our black vessel.”
“Come with me somewhere. Please. I've been waiting eight months to talk to you”
