Emerson

“I dreamed that I floated at will in the great Ether, and I saw this world floating also not far off, but diminished to the size of an apple. Then an angel took it in his hand & brought it to me and said ‘This must thou eat.’ And I ate the world.”

-- Emerson

"Hope Says"

Hope says: One day
you will see her, if you really wait.

Despair says:
She is only your bitterness.
Beat, heart. Not everything
Is swallowed by the earth.

-- “Hope says” by Antonio Machado
