“It is that holy poetry and singing we are after. ... It is the wild singing we are after, our chance to use the wild language we are learning by heart under the sea. When a woman speaks her truth, fires up her intention and feeling, staying tight with the instinctive nature, she is singing, she is living in the wild breath-stream of the soul. To live this way is a cycle in itself, one meant to go on, go on, go on.” WayHeartSoulUseFeelingsSpeakLanguageChanceFireSeaGoes OnHolySingingBreathsIntentionStreamsStayingCycles Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“It is only the basest writer who cannot speak of the sea without talking of "raging waves," "remorseless floods," "ravenous billows," etc.; and it is one of the signs of the highest power in a writer to check all such habits of thought, and to keep his eyes fixed firmly on the pure fact , out of which if any feeling comes to him or his reader, he knows it must be a true one.” IfsKnowsFactsFeelingsEyeSpeakTalkingSeaReaderHabitPureHighestWaveRageChecksFixedHis EyesEtcFloodTrue OnesRemorseless Book:The Genius of John Ruskin: Selections from His Writings Source: The Genius of John Ruskin: Selections from His Writings
“When I read or hear of the mutual injuries of England and Ireland, I fancy it would have been a blessed thing had the sea never flowed between the two countries. Had they been all in one, surely there would have been more unity between them of interests and of feelings. But let us hope that days of peace and general enlightenment will arrive by ways past man's finding out.” MenWayHas BeensTwoCountryFeelingsPastInterestSeaFindingsEnlightenmentEnglandBlessedUnityFancyInjuryMutualIrelandTwo Countries Book:Memoir and Letters Source: Memoir and Letters
“The sea has been called deceitful and treacherous, but there lies in this trait only the character of a great natural power, which, to speak according to our own feelings, renews its strength, and, without reference to joy or sorrow, follows eternal laws which are imposed by a higher Power.” Has BeensCharacterFeelingsLawJoyLyingSpeakNaturalSeaHigherSorrowEternalTraitsTreacherousHigher PowerDeceitful Author:Wilhelm von Humboldt
