“What the eye delights in, no longer dictates My greed to enjoy: boys, grass, the fenced-off deer. It leaves those figures that distantly play On the horizon's rim: they sign their peace, in games.” PlayEyeGamesEnjoyBoysFiguresGreedDelightGrassHorizonDeerRims Book:New Collected Poems of Stephen Spender Source: New Collected Poems of Stephen Spender
“Just a little rain falling all around The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound Just a little rain, just a little rain What have they done to the rain? Just a little boy standing in the rain The gentle rain that falls for years And the grass is gone and the boy disappears And the rain keeps falling like helpless tears And what have they done to the rain? Just a little breeze out of the sky The leaves nod their heads as the breeze blows by Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye And what have they done to the rain?” YearsLittlesDoneEyeFallSoundBoysGoneSkyTearsRainStandingEnvironmentalBlowDisappearSmokeLiftsGentleGrassHeavenlyPollutionHelplessBreezeLittle BoysRain FallingGentle RainStanding In The Rain Author:Malvina Reynolds
“I knew that I was a gay boy fairly early; what was interesting to me was that my mother didn’t know. She made me play baseball - I had no desire to do that. I said, ‘Mom, I don’t like direct sunlight, I don’t like bugs, I don’t like grass, and I’d rather be in the house playing with your fabric samples.’” KnowsMadeSaidPlayMotherDesireHouseInterestingBoysMomGayDirectBaseballGrassSunlightFabricBugsSample Author:Nate Berkus
“Have you ever noticed the perfection of nature? The seasons and how one changes into the next, the falling leaves, composting soil, rains, new seedlings, sunshine, growth, blossoms, etc. Grass grows, deer eats grass, lion eats deer, deer population is stabilized so there is grass for other animals; sunrise and sunset, boy and girl, winter and summer.” FallGirlNextGrowsGrowthAnimalBoysSummerRainPerfectionSeasonsWinterPopulationGrassSoilSunsetEtcSunshineLionsSunriseDeerBoy And GirlSunrise And SunsetFalling LeavesSeedlings Author:Bryan Kest
