Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.

Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.

I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth; I dreamed that was the new City of Friends; Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love—it led the rest; It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.

This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.

The earth does not argue, Is not pathetic, has no arrangements, Does not scream, haste, persuade, threaten, promise, Makes no discriminations, has no conceivable failures, Closes nothing, refuses nothing, shuts none out.

I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.

I keep thinking about you every few minutes all day.
