The Heart Asks

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 10:35:07 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

The heart asks pleasure first
And then, excuse from pain;
And then those little anodynes
That deaden suffering,

And then to go to sleep
And then, if it should be,
The will of its Inquisitor
The liberty to die!

(Emily Dickinson)

Come Slowly

Talhah posted a photo:

Come slowly, Eden
Lips unused to thee.
Bashful, sip thy jasmines,
As the fainting bee,
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums,
Counts his nectars -alights,
And is lost in balms!

(Emily Dickinson)

I Lost A World

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:25:24 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

I lost a world the other day.
Has anybody found?
You?ll know it by the row of stars
Around its forehead bound.

A rich man might not notice it;
Yet to my frugal eye
Of more esteem than ducats.
Oh, find it, Sir, for me!

(Emily Dickinson)

Hope is a Thing With Feathers

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:19:33 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings a tune without words
And never stops at all.

And sweetest, in the gale, is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That keeps so many warm.

I?ve heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in extremity
It ask a crumb of me.

(Emily Dickinson)

My Pretty Rose Tree

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:12:03 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

A flower was offered to me:
Such a flower as May never bore.
But I said "I've a Pretty Rose-tree",
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.

Then I went to my Pretty Rose-tree:
To tend her by day and by night.
But my Rose turn'd away with jealousy:
And her thorns were my only delight.

(William Blake)

Sweet Disorder

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 11:56:31 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness:
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction --
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher --
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbands to flow confusedly --
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat --
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility --
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.

(Robert Herrick)

The Garden of Love

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 03:07:24 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

I went to the Garden of Love.
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And "Thou Shalt Not", writ over the door;
So I turn'd to the Garden of Love,
That so many sweet flowers bore,

And I saw it filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars, my joys & desires.

(William Blake)

Love's Philosophy

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 02:39:47 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

(Percy Bysshe Shelley)

I Never Lost As Much

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 02:39:47 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

I never lost as much but twice,
And that was in the sod.
Twice have I stood a beggar
Before the door of God!

Angels, twice descending,
Reimbursed my store.
Burglar, banker, father,
I am poor once more!

(Emily Dickinson)

How Do I Love Thee?

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 02:19:59 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

(Elizabeth Barrett Browning)

Rose Aylmer

nobody@flickr.com (Talhah) — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:00:15 -0700

Talhah posted a photo:

Ah, what avails the sceptred race;
Ah, what the form divine.
What every virtue, every grace,
Rose Aylmer, all were thine.

Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes
May weep, but never see;
A night of memories and of sighs
I consecrate to thee.

(Walter Savage Landor)
