Quotes about applause, page 19
You aim at all the things you have been told that stardom means: the rich life, the applause, the parties cluttered with celebrities. Then you find that you have it all. And it is nothing, really nothing. It is like a drug that lasts just a few hours, a sleeping pill. When it wears off, you have to live without its help.

People Like You
If I had not shown you the way,
You would not know a way could be made.
Now that you have updated it,
You say my attempts had not been that great.
And with your efforts,
They have become greater.
And this you ensure is a cause for celebration!
With applause and no mention of me at all!
But...
That's what people like you do!

Small Flowers
The familiarity of a flower is so small,
I love to admire and drink this alcohol.
I may at first be appalling, so splendid,
Yet now the mother in you is abdicated.
Never in this mind of a lovely lady
Do I see applause, like the raining indecency
Of a mild season, one of the efforts,
May appalling weather have comforts.

The tree and the grass
I feel high thinking that I am held high.
I stay high refusing to be held low
I am shy doing anything so low.
Let me stand like a tree to break in storm.
I feel low unmindful of others’ frowns.
I stay low unmindful of others’ applause.
I am shy doing anything bogus.
Let me stand like grass to bow to the breeze.

To The Honble. Miss Carteret, Now Countess Of Dysert.
Fair Innocence, the Muses lovelicst
On Acts of Mercy sound thy rising Fame.
Let others from frail Beauty hope Applause:
Plead thou the Fatherless, and Widow's Cause.
Fly to your Mother; let each winning Grace
Engage Compassion for my helpless Race.
So shall the wond'ring World be taught from thence,
Beauty is but your second Excellence.

Concomitant Of Time
Nature greets Spring with rapturous applause
is a valiant concomitant of time
Autumn comes to unveil the secret of nature
is a common concomitant of time
Rainy season is a predisposition of nature
between the spring and autumn
is also a concomitant of time.
The nature revolves on its axis all time
is a fundamental concomitant of time.

In The Moment
In the empty stands
Our champion sat.
Sans fans
and sans applause.
He mulled over
The match just past;
Its aces
and its flaws.
To have come so close
And not prevail-
A lesser man might cry.
But Murray knew the glory
That comes when Mortals vie.
He thought:
'I'm getting closer,
Than I ever have before'
A silver cup
At Centre court
Was the vision

Piano
hearstrings of mom
in the centre of house
sublime notes from fingers
she had curved her love into
spread out now over black and white
to reciprocate her affections
light, tender touch soothing a heart
that has prayed for these notes from heaven
a piano that receives the applause
and all my dreams in graceful quiet
a million solid well wishes in her chamber

Revelations
if God wishes to extend
the time before he unleashes
the adagio, can anybody help it?
there is a larger game than life
and he knows all the best rules
we are meant to play along with him
and acquiece with the applause and
thunderous encore he seeks
some revelations are spposed to
be greeted with witheld tears as we
finally get the answer of our call

Gymnast
That Gazelle of poise
And grace.
A Ballerina
Of time and space.
A silent movie
Of choreography.
Olympian sublime.
An acrobat with rhyme.
That twists and bends.
Then glides so free.
She
Moves like a symphony.
She grooves
With liquidity.
Flowing
To her finale.
Knowing
Just to keep her head.
Stops dead.
To crashing applause.
