from Douglas Moore’s Art of Quotation
“Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.”
Hermann Hesse, book quote from “Steppenwolf: A Novel”, p.151, Macmillan
See what happens when you don’t hear
The pistachio splitting apart on the branch,
Just see what happens to you.
See what happens, if you don’t hear this rain
Or the rolling bell or the man talking,
See what happens if you don’t smell the seaweed
Or the lobster, or the shrimp,
Blowing in wind from the sea . . .
translated by George Messo
the scent of flowers
left behind
fill the air
and I am left
with one fine memory
of you
years
they go
and go
and are gone
and with them
all of us
fade away
into the past
of someone else’s
memory
who I wonder
did he sing to
not in night clubs
in Vegas
or in film
but in those lonely hours
with the bottle dry
or in the studio booth
pouring that heart
onto vinyl
for those of us
with empty bottles
at 2am
from Douglas Moore’s Art of Quotation
“Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.”
Carl Jung, author, psychiatrist
that song
wafting
through the rooms
brought you
to mind
and all I left
somewhere behind
the morning
holds promise
that the night
can fulfill
the memory of
what lingers
on the tips
of my fingers
what sorrow
fills the chambers
of my heart
the sound of
a door closing
footsteps echo
in the hall
one walks away
only to walk
toward
a new day
