Duino Elegies: The First Elegy

by Rainer Maria Rilke

Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels'
hierarchies? and even if one of them suddenly
pressed me against his heart, I would perish
in the embrace of his stronger existence.
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure and are awed
because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.
Each single angel is terrifying.
And so I force myself, swallow and hold back
the surging call of my dark sobbing.

If

by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;

Here Follows Some Verses Upon The Burning Of Our House

by Anne Bradstreet

In silent night when rest I took
For sorrow near I did not look
I waked was with thund'ring noise
And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.
That fearful sound of "Fire!" and "Fire!"
Let no man know is my desire.
I, starting up, the light did spy,
And to my God my heart did cry
To strengthen me in my distress
And not to leave me succorless.

Beyond Words

by Aloo Denish Obiero

The language of love requires no translation,
The language of trust needs no explanation,
The language of honesty needs no interpretation,
The language of wisdom requires no noise,
The language of kindness requires no words.

Certain Maxims Of Hafiz

by Rudyard Kipling

I.

If It be pleasant to look on, stalled in the packed serai,
Does not the Young Man try Its temper and pace ere he buy?
If She be pleasant to look on, what does the Young Man say?
"Lo! She is pleasant to look on, give Her to me to-day!"
II.

Yea, though a Kafir die, to him is remitted Jehannum
If he borrowed in life from a native at sixty per cent. per anuum.

Het zijn de kleine dingen die het doen

by Mario Odekerken

Een zachte blik,
een hand op je schouder,
het fluisteren van de wind door de bomen,
een onverwacht gebaar,
het zonlicht dat tussen de bladeren speelt
en de stilte die soms meer zegt dan woorden.

In het alledaagse,
verpakt in eenvoud,
vindt het leven zijn eigen waarde.

Let Enthusiasm Blossom

by mv venkataraman

He who gives up
He who quits not
Only a believer God
As his ideas are fertile
Success when one
He must check all his

Defeat may come to
Greet it by being calmly
Repeat acts, so glory you

trust

by Sirena V

one day i’ll be able to articulate just
how far and deep
the well of my spirit travels.

as i take the time to swim through the
guarded tunnel,
the deep funk of
angst and vulnerability
fills the space inside.

Again

by Shruti Sidpara

i helped myself.
I wiped my own tears.
Plastered over fresh wounds and parts of my heart that were still hurting.
I gave myself time.
I read books that soothed my soul.
I listened to music that calmed my nerves.
I watched movies that made me smile.
Piece by piece,
I put myself back together again.
