A Love Letter by Alexander Pushkin/Romantic poem

A Love Letter
Alexander Pushkin


just recall this wondrous instant:
You have arrived before my face --
A vision, fleeting in a distance,
A spirit of the pure grace.

In pine of sorrow unfair,
In worldly harassment and noise
I dreamed of your beloved air
And heard your quiet, gentle voice.

Years passed. The tempests' rebel senders
Have scattered this delightful dream,
And I forgot this sound tender
And how heavenly you seemed.

In gloomy dark of isolation,
My days were gradually moved,
Without faith and inspiration,
Without tears, life, and love.

My soul awoke with decision:
And you again came as a blest,
Like an enchanting fleeting vision,
A spirit of the pure grace.

My heart beats on in resurrection --
It has again for what to strive:
Divinity and inspiration,
Life, tears, and eternal love.

Lovers, forget your love Robert Frost /Inspirational romantic poem

Lovers, forget your love
Robert Frost


Lovers, forget your love,
And listen to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.

When the frosty window veil
Was melted down at noon,
And the caged yellow bird
Hung over her in tune,
He marked her through the pane,
He could not help but mark,
And only passed her by
To come again at dark.

He was a winter wind,
Concerned with ice and snow,
Dead weeds and unmated birds,
And little of love could know.
But he sighed upon the sill,
He gave the sash a shake,
As witness all within
Who lay that night awake.

Per chance he half prevailed
To win her for the flight
From the firelit looking-glass
And warm stove-window light.
But the flower leaned aside
And thought of naught to say,
And morning found the breeze
A hundred miles away.

Compassion quote by Thomas Merton/Amazing nature ,Dawn

The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness
of the interdependence of all these living beings, which
are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.
Thomas Merton

Age and Youth quote By Sophia Loren

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents,
the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people
you love.When you learn to tap this source, you will truly
have defeated age.

Inner Knowing quote BY Edward Gibbon

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves.
It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning
of the final loneliness.
Edward Gibbon

Nature quote by John Muir/Nature Photography

A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring
storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious
enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees
are now silent, their songs never cease.
John Muir

Listen to your personal sounds/calmness quote

Everybody should have his personal sounds to listen for -
sounds that will make him exhilarated and alive or quiet and calm.
