The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to
make up one's mind about nothing --to let the mind be
a thoroughfare for all thoughts. Not a select party.
JOHN KEATS 1795-1821
Absence of occupation is not rest,
A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd.
WILLIAM COWPER 1731-1800
My mind to me a kingdom is,
Such present joys therein I find,
That it excels all other bliss
That earth affords or grows by kind.
SIR EDWARD DYER 1700?-1758
From doubt to certainty is but a breath,
A breath from unfaith's halting place to faith,
This precious breath then do you cherish, for
Life's sum is but a breath from birth to death
OMAR KHAYYAM
For many days , my brain
Worked with a dim and undetermined sense
Of unknown modes of being
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH 1770-1850
MOVING FORWARD
The deep parts of my life pour onward,
as if the river shores were opening out.
It seems that things are more like me now,
that I can see farther into paintings.
I feel closer to what language can't reach.
With my senses, as with birds, I climb
into the windy heaven, out of the oak,
and in the ponds broken off from the sky
my feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.
RAINER MARIA RILKE 1875-1926 (trans. R. Bly)
