"Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea."

"When the heart weeps for what it has lost the spirit laughs for what it has found."

"(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands"
