Edith Wharton, Vesalius in Zante (1564)

"I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not touch you
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth
As all things are filled with my soul
You emerge from the things
Filled with my soul
You are like my soul
A butterfly of dream
And you are like the word: Melancholy."

  Pablo Neruda, “I Like For You To Be Still” (via atomiclanterns)

"

If I ever see you again
I will always carry you
inside
outside
on my fingertips
and at brain edges

and in centers
centers
of what I am of
what remains

"

"Some piece of you
stays in me and I’ll never give it back.
The heart hoards its thorns
just as the rose profligates.
Just because you’ve had enough
doesn’t mean you wanted too much."
