“Il pleure dans mon coeur comme il pleure sur la ville”

-Paul Verlaine

does any one have any favorite lines or poems theyd like to share?

All Faith is false, all Faith is true:

Truth is the shattered mirror strown

In myriad bits; while each believes

His little bit the whole to own.

-Haji Abdu El-Yezdi (Richard Burton)

here are two videos of tupac songs i really admire:

Bem-te-vi

“L’Amour est un oiseau rebelle”

Half Moon

To ride abroad redressing human wrongs,
To speak no slander, no, nor listen to it,
To honor his own word as if his god’s,
To lead sweet lives in purest chastity,
To love one maiden only […]
And worship her by years of noble deeds….

– credo of the Knights of the Round Table
Half Moon

“I have know the silence of the stars and of the sea,
And the silence of the city when it pauses,
And the silence of and man and a maid,
And the silence for which music alone finds the word,
And the silence of the woods before the winds of spring begin,
And the silence of the sick
When their eyes roam about the room.
And I ask: For the depths
Of what use is language?
A beast of the field moans a few times
When death takes its young:
And we are voiceluss in the presence of realities–
We cannot speak.”

thats verse one. any reactions?
Half Moon

“Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone’s here
Everyone’s here
Everybody’s watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before”
