“Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it began, as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth. Also, it began through the process of seeing, and feeling, and hearing, and smelling, and touching, and then remembering--I mean remembering in words--what these perceptual experiences were like, while trying to describe the endless invisible fears and desires of our inner lives.” TryingMeanArtFeelingsEarthRememberDesirePoetryProcessSeeingFineOriginalsAncientHearingEndlessInvisibleWildernessPoetry IsTouchingInner LifeFine ArtsAncient Art Book:A Poetry Handbook Source: A Poetry Handbook
“And also to the alien, who is not of Thy people Israel, but comes from a distant land on account of Thy fame; for hearing of Thy great name and Thy strong hand, and Thine outstretched arm, he comes to this house to pray... do Thou listen in the heavens, the place where Thou dwellest, and perform all that the alien begs of Thee, so that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thine own people Israel, and to know that Thy name is proclaimed over this house that I have built.” PeopleKnowsMayHandsEarthHouseNamesStrongHeavenLandArmsPrayingFameBuiltAccountsIsraelHearingAliensTheeStrong Hands Author:Solomon
“There is nothing so difficult to describe as happiness. Whether some feeling of envy enters into the mind upon hearing of it, or whether it is so calm, so unassuming, so little ostentatious in itself, that words give an imperfect idea of it, I know not. It is easier to enjoy it, than define it. ... and is oftener found at home, when home has not been embittered by dissensions, suspicions and guilt, than any where else upon earth. Yes, it is in home and in those who watch there for us.” KnowsGivingMindLittlesIdeasFeelingsHomeEarthHappinessFoundEnjoyDifficultWatchesEasierGuiltCalmHearingEnvyImperfectSuspicionDissensionUnassumingOstentatious Book:The Works of Lady Caroline Lamb: Glenarvon (1816) Source: The Works of Lady Caroline Lamb: Glenarvon (1816)
