“Man, do you think yours is the only soul? Look around you. Everything that you see quivers with being. Though your thoughts are free, one thing you do not think about: the whole. Beasts have a mind; respect it. Flowers too- look at one. Nature brought forth each petal. There is a mystery that sleeps in metal. Everything feels, and has power over you.” ThinkingMenFeelsMindLooksSoulWholeSleepOne ThingMysteryFlowerEnvironmentalBeastOver YouMetalsPetalsQuiver Author:Gerard De Nerval
“I go to bed, and I wait for sleep as a man might wait for the executioner. I wait for its coming with dread, and my heart beats and my legs tremble, while my whole body shivers beneath the warmth of the bedclothes, until the moment when I suddenly fall asleep, as a man throws himself into a pool of stagnant water in order to drown. I do not feel this perfidious sleep coming over me as I used to, but a sleep which is close to me and watching me, which is going to seize me by the head, to close my eyes and annihilate me.” MenFeelsHeartWholeMomentsBodyMightEyeUsedOrderFallWaitingWaterSleepMy HeartBedBeatsLegsWarmthPoolDreadStagnantShiverHeart BeatExecutionersStagnant Water Book:13 Short Scary Stories: Masterpieces of the greatest writers Source: 13 Short Scary Stories: Masterpieces of the greatest writers
