“The wretch that fears to drown, will break through flames; Or, in his dread of flames, will plunge in waves. When eagles are in view, the screaming doves Will cower beneath the feet of man for safety.” MenFearViewsBreakFeetSafetyWaveFlamesDreadEaglesDovePlungeBreak Through Author:Colley Cibber
“There are some women who seem to be born without fear, just as there are people who are born without the ability to feel pain. The painless ones go around putting their hands on hot stoves, freezing their feet to the point of gangrene, scalding the lining of their throats with boiling coffee, because there is no warning anguish. Evolution does not favour them. So too perhaps with the fearless women, because there aren't very many of them around. ... Providence appears to protect such women, maybe out of astonishment.” PeopleFeelsDoeHandsSeemsPainFearBornAbilityFeetEvolutionProtectHotCoffeeFearlessThroatWarningProvidenceAnguishFavourAstonishmentFreezingBoilingStovesPainless Book:Bluebeard's Egg Source: Bluebeard's Egg
“Love is Enough Love is enough: though the world be a-waning, And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining, Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder, Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder, And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over, Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter: The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.” WorldEnoughHandsEyeFearVoiceDarkLove IsWonderSeaFeetSkyLoversDrawsShadowFairsGoldLipsDeedsWoodsComplainingCupsHillsThis DayVoidWearyComplaintsVeilsDaisiesBloomingThese EyesEnough Love Book:Poems By The Way & Love Is Enough Source: Poems By The Way & Love Is Enough
