Take your delight in momentariness,
Walk between dark and dark - a shining space
With the grave's narrowness, though not its peace.
Robert Graves-Sick Love
Even nowadays an archaic sense of love-innocence recurs, however briefly, among most young men and women. Some few of these, who become poets, remain in love for the rest of their lives, watching the world with a detachment unknown to lawyers, politicians, financiers, and all other ministers of that blind and irresponsible successor to matriarchy and patriarchy — the mechanarchy.
Robert Graves
To bring the dead to life
Is no great magic.
Few are wholly dead
Blow on a dead man's embers
And a live flame will start.
Robert Graves- from To bring the dead to life
Take your delight in momentariness,
Walk between dark and dark - a shining space
With the grave's narrowness, though not its peace.
Robert Graves-Sick Love
