"I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself." - wilde

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I
am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when we kiss
They're perfectly aligned

i give you an onion
it is a moon wrapped in brown paper
it promises light
like the careful undressing of love

from birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. he is bolted to earth. but man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.

and tom?

ah, now comes the most wonderful part of this wonderful story. tom, when he woke, for of course he woke—children always wake after they have slept exactly as long as is good for them—found himself swimming about in the stream, being about four inches, or— that i may be accurate—3.87902 inches long and having round the parotid region of his fauces a set of external gills (i hope you understand all the big words) just like those of a sucking eft, which he mistook for a lace frill, till he pulled at them, found he hurt himself, and made up his mind that they were part of himself, and best left alone.

in fact, the fairies had turned him into a water-baby.

“You can always learn something new. Sometimes it is about manipulating light. Other times it is about finding another angle into the human soul. That’s what keeps this work so interesting. Until I find something I like better, I’ll probably do this work forever.”

A life without love in it is like a heap of ashes upon a deserted hearth, with the fire dead, the laughter stilled and the light extinguished.

The coming of aircraft inspired experimentation, in those days, every flight was a test flight--whether the aviator was a careful scientist or a moonlighting longshoreman, the result was usually the same,
a crash landing.

We don’t forget, thought Mma Ramotswe. Our heads may be small, but they are as full of memories as the sky may sometimes be of swarming bees, thousands and thousands of memories, of smells, of places, of little things that happened to us and which come back, unexpectedly, to remind us who we are. And who am I? I am Precious Ramotswe, citizen of Botswana, daughter of Obed Ramotswe who died because he had been a miner and could no longer breathe. His life was unrecorded; who is there to write down the lives of ordinary people?
