“Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. Gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. Your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. The city shudders, Stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. Star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. You are light and morning.” EndsDoneLightEyeNightHouseLostStarsDarkCitiesStepsMorningStreetsSweetWindMouthsStonesEmptyBreathsBreatheAwakeningHillsDawnGrayWarmthBreezeEmpty StreetsTrill Author:Cesare Pavese
“I would rediscover the secret of great communications and great combustions. I would say storm. I would say river. I would say tornado. I would say leaf. I would say tree. I would be drenched by all rains, moistened by all dews. I would roll like frenetic blood on the slow current of the eye of words turned into mad horses into fresh children into clots into curfew into vestiges of temples into precious stones remote enough to discourage miners.

“Startled, he loosed his grasp and she pulled free. He clutched her arm, but she spun around and pressed her mouth to his. His lips were rough, chapped. She felt the sting of fangs against her bottom lip. He made a sharp sound in the back of his throat and closed his eyes. Mouth opening under hers. The smell of him- of cold, damp stone- made her head swim. One kiss slid into another and it was perfect, was exactly right, was real.” MadeRealEyeFeltSoundPerfectArmsColdKissingMouthsStonesBottomLipsSmellOpeningHis EyesRoughSwimThroatFangsDampSpun Book:Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie Source: Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie

“Let me explain: there are dragons, and then there are drakons. Drakons are several millennia older than dragons, andmuch larger. They look like giant serpents. Most don't have wings. Most don't breathe fire (though some do). All are poisonous. All are immensely strong, with scales harder than titanium. Their eyes can paralyze you; not the turn-you~to-stone Medusa-type paralysis, buttheoh~my~gods-that~big~snake~is~going~to~eat~me type of paralysis, which is just as bad.” LooksEyeTurnsStrongFireTypeStonesLet MeHarderWingsBreatheScalesGiantsDragonsSerpentPoisonousParalysisMedusa Book:Percy Jackson: The Complete Series Source: Percy Jackson: The Complete Series
“Cold as winter, strong as stone; She faced the darkness all alone. A silver goddess; a reflection. A mirage; a recollection. No return; no turning back. The past is gone, the future, black. Serpents gather in their nest, And she stands above the rest. Shadows hunt; she hunts the shadow. The moon is risen; she stands below. She views her world through the eyes of others. Black and white; there are no colors, As she looks down upon a shattered youth. A shattered mirror shows a shattered truth.” WorldLooksShowsEyePastStrongBlackWhiteViewsDarknessGoneYouthColorColdReturnMoonReflectionShadowStonesMirrorsWinterSilverGoddessBlack And WhiteHuntsNestsShatteredRecollectionRisenAll AloneSerpentThrough The EyesMiragesNo Turning Back Author:Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

“Check this out,” Nine says. He holds up a small purple stone and then places it on the back of his hand. The stone slides into his hand—through it. Nine turns his hand over just as the stone pops out in his palm. “Pretty cool, right?” he asks me, waggling his eyebrows. “Uh, but what is it supposed to do?” Eight asks, looking up from his own Chest. “I dunno. Impress girls?” Nine looks over at me. “Did it work?” “Um . . .” I hesitate, trying not to roll my eyes too hard. “Not really.

“Are God and Nature then at strife, That Nature lends such evil dreams? So careful of the type she seems, So careless of the single life; ... 'So careful of the type', but no. From scarped cliff and quarried stone She cries, 'A thousand types are gone: I care for nothing, all shall go' ... Man, her last work, who seemed so fair, Such splendid purpose in his eyes, Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies, Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer, Who trusted God was love indeed And love Creation's final law- Tho' Nature red in tooth and claw With ravine, shrieked against his creed.” MenDreamSeemsEyeCareLastsLawSciencePurposeEvilNaturePrayerGoneSkyCryCreationTypeEvolutionThousandBuiltRedFairsStonesAnd LoveFinalsCarefulTeethHis EyesCreedsTrustedI CareStrifeSplendidCliffsCarelessClawsSingle LifePsalmsGod And Nature Author:Alfred Lord Tennyson
“I roamed the countryside searching for the answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains along with the imprints of coral and plant and seaweed usually found in the sea. Why the thunder lasts a longer time than that which causes it and why immediately on its creation the lightening becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone and why a bird sustains itself in the air. These questions and other strange phenomena engaged my thought throughout my life.” Has BeensEyeLastsFormFoundCausesWaterAnswersCreativityAirSeaCreationStrangeMountainBirdStonesInnovationPlantVariousCirclesSpotsEngagedVisibleShellsMy ThoughtsThunderCountrysideSeaweedStrange Phenomena Author:Leonardo da Vinci
