“Beauty spins and the mind moves. To catch beauty would be to understand how that impertinent stability in vertigo is possible. But no, delight need not reach so far. To be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful, a suspended moment of living hope.” NeedsMindMomentsWould BeRunningMovingBeautyDelightStabilityDelightfulSuspendedVertigo Author:Anne Carson
“The beauty that men seek is half a dream-- Where'er we wander, yet it lies afar; It touches with its wand a setting star, It stirs the ripple of an ebbing stream. And though we run beyond the dawning gleam, Or kneel to worship at an altar bright, We may not know the soul of its delight, Or more than marvel at its palest beam.” KnowsMenMaySoulDreamRunningLyingStarsHalfBeautyWorshipDelightSettingSettingsWanderStreamsAltarsBeamRippleGleamAfarWands Book:The Rainbow Chaser: And Other Poems ...
