“I intend 'Dämmerung' to be an ironic meditation on the financial rewards of poetry and a tragicomic lament on the passing of time and the changes in literary taste. The other poets mentioned are my poetic cohort from the U.K. I wrote the piece in situ, as it were, while making a television documentary about World War I in Germany.” WorldWarPiecesMeditationTelevisionPoetTasteRewardsFinancialPassingPassingsWar Of The WorldsGermanyPoeticIronicWorld War IDocumentariesLament Author:Simon Armitage

“Profound meditation in solitude and silence frequently exalts the mind above its natural tone, fires the imagination, produces the most refined and sublime conceptions. The soul then tastes the purest and most refined delight, and almost loses the idea of existence in the intellectual pleasure it receives. The mind on every motion darts through space into eternity; and raised, in its free enjoyment of its powers by its own enthusiasm, strengthens itself in the habitude of contemplating the noblest subjects, and of adopting the most heroic pursuits.” MindIdeasSoulLosesImaginationNaturalSpacePleasureExistenceSilenceFireMeditationSubjectsProduceTasteSolitudeIntellectualEternityProfoundRaisedDelightPursuitEnthusiasmToneEnjoymentConceptionHeroicContemplatingSublimeRefinedAdoptingDarts Author:Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann
“We are uncomfortable because everything in our life keeps changing -- our inner moods, our bodies, our work, the people we love, the world we live in. We can't hold on to anything -- a beautiful sunset, a sweet taste, an intimate moment with a lover, our very existence as the body/mind we call self -- because all things come and go. Lacking any permanent satisfaction, we continuously need another injection of fuel, stimulation, reassurance from loved ones, medicine, exercise, and meditation. We are continually driven to become something more, to experience something else.” PeopleWorldNeedsMindSelfMomentsBodyBeautifulExistenceOur LivesMeditationSweetLoversExerciseTasteAll ThingsMedicineSatisfactionDrivenMoodPermanentUncomfortableIntimateFuelSunsetLoved OnesLackingComes And GoesStimulationReassuranceInjectionBeautiful SunsetIntimate Moments Book:Radical Acceptance: Awakening the Love that Heals Fear and Shame Source: Radical Acceptance: Awakening the Love that Heals Fear and Shame
