Soul Blade

Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or blade:

    I am in love
    And that is my shame.
    What hurts the soul
    My soul adores,
    No better than beast
    Upon all fours.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    During a walk or in a book or in the middle of an embrace, suddenly I awake to a stark amazement at everything. The bare fact of existence paralyzes me... To be alive is so incredible that all I can do is to lie still and merely breathe—like an infant on its back in a cot. It is impossible to be interested in anything in particular while overhead the sun shines or underneath my feet grows a single blade of grass.
    W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
