Faeries come
“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”
― W.B. Yeats, The Land of Heart’s Desire, overlooking Italy from San Marino
The boat that came heading towards us
| And there in a boat that came heading towards us |
| Was an old man, his hair snow-white with age, |
| Raging and bawling, ‘Woe to you, wicked spirits! |
| O never hope to see the heavenly skies! |
| I come to bring you to the other shore, |
| To eternal darkness, to the fire and ice. |

That feeling
“What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? – it’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
