"she'd too much beauty for good luck." -Yeats, "Deirdre"
Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.
-Diane Arbus
"The old pattern of my life is shattered. It hangs around me in shreds. Great things are going to happen from all this. I feel the fermentation." - Anais Nin, from her journal "Henry and June"
Why should I blame her that she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets upon the great,
Had they but courage equal to desire?
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this,
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?
- Yeats, "No Second Troy"...God, I am caught in a snare!
I know not what fine wire is round my throat;
I only know I let him finger there
My pulse of life, and let him nose like a stoat
Who sniffs with joy before he drinks the blood.
And down his mouth comes to my mouth! and down
His bright dark eyes come over me, like a hood
Upon my mind! his lips meet mine, and a flood
Of sweet fire sweeps across me, so I drown
Against him, die, and find death good.
- D.H. Lawrence, from "Love on the Farm"
