)O(Music speaks about what cannot be said but cannot left untold)O(
CORRESPONDENCES - Charles Baudelaire
IN Nature's temple living pillars rise,
And words are murmured none have understood,
And man must wander through a tangled wood
Of symbols watching him with friendly eyes.
As long-drawn echoes heard far-off and dim
Mingle to one deep sound and fade away;
Vast as the night and brilliant as the day,
Colour and sound and perfume speak to him.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as a child,
Sweet as the sound of hautboys, meadow-green;
Others, corrupted, rich, exultant, wild,
Have all the expansion of things infinite:
As amber, incense, musk, and benzoin,
Which sing the sense's and the soul's delight.

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great,
some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust
upon 'em."
From Twelfth Night (II, v, 156-159)
William Shakespeare
"Perhaps strength doesn't reside in having never been
broken... but in the courage required to grow strong

"The moon shines, the stars come out, a soft breeze caresses my meditation. On the right, one still sees the setting sun showing itself humbly behind the moon, which now rules the heavens. Finally the sun disappears altogether and then the moon, shining still more brightly, proudly ascends the throne of the sun. I greet you, Madam, the stars seem to say."Anais Nin
"To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach out for another is to risk involvement.To expose feelings is to risk revealing your true self.To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk rejection.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To live is to risk dying.To hope is to risk disappointment.To try is to risk failure.But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing." William Arthur Ward

You scored as II - The High Priestess. The High Priestess is a card of intuition, instinct and hidden knowledge. She knows all your secrets, you can hide nothing from her. Yet you will never know the secrets she herself protects.If well aspected in a Tarot spread, this card can indicate the use of intuition to solve problems; trust to your instincts. If badly aspected, it can mean suppression and ignoring of such instincts - following your head at the expense of your heart.

Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You?

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind.
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of people.
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life;
I found it worth living.
*Bertrand Russell*
"Hear me, O queen, Zeus? daughter of many names,
Titanic and Bacchic, reverend, renowned archer,
torch-bearing goddess bringing light to all, Diktynna, helper at childbirth.You aid women in labor, though you know not what labor is.
O frenzy-loving huntress, you loosen girdles and drive cares away; swift, arrow-pouring, you love the outdoors and you roam in the night.Fame-bringing, affable, redeeming, mannish,
Orthia, goddess of swift birth, nurturer of mortal youths.
Immortal and yet of this earth, you slay wild beasts, O blessed one,
and your realm is in the mountain forests. You hunt deer,
O august and might queen of all, fair blossoms, eternal,
sylvan, dog-loving, many-shaped lady of Kydonia.
Come, dear goddess, as savior, accessible to all
the initiates and bring earth?s fair fruits
and lovely Peace and well-tressed Health;
and do banish disease and pain to mountain peaks" Orphic Hymn to Artemis
