Quotes about period, page 62
For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the Axis -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.

What's really important in life Sitting on a beach Looking a television eight hours a day I think we have to appreciate that we're alive for only a limited period of time, and we'll spend most of our lives working. That being the case, I believe one of the most important priorities is to do whatever we do as well as we can. We should take pride in that.

Saved me before I swoon
As if the metallic shield the elephant
wears that saves the people
while it goes wild and rut
during the sexual active period,
The beautiful breast-band of my lover
adorning the full formed breast
saved me before I swoon,
if I happened to see her
beauty without it.

The One who could repeat the Summer day
307
The One who could repeat the Summer day—
Were greater than itself—though He
Minutest of Mankind should be—
And He—could reproduce the Sun—
At period of going down—
The Lingering—and the Stain—I mean—
When Orient have been outgrown
And Occident—become Unknown—
His Name—remain—

We have no time to laugh
In the broadfield of life
We find only pain and sorrow
Those who pose to be joyous
Are laughing at themselves
Let's think what is there to smile
A short span of life?
Sixty, seventy, probably hundred years
Is not enough to make us joyful
As we have to present our account
Before Him
In such a short period
We can't do much to please Him
Then why should we be happy?

My Court
Never enter my court spreading disease,
Inside this duty I complain of those who decease
From the clause written by the judge,
To decapitate the man with the nudge.
I concern him now, in ever more reason,
More than ever the reasons flow thorough the season.
This period of course matters for those in my court,
Blaming me is desired as a last resort.

You go to the hospital your wife's in labor and you're doing the thing, and then it's very disorienting and scary and you beat yourself up and you go through a whole period of 'woe is me' and then you realize that this a gift, this child is the light, and if you can nourish that light and just let it shine, you have an opportunity to get closer to what I think is God.

Coming Home
unannounced you come home
bringing all the scruples inside your head
you stay somewhere else
in an island undisclosed
you phone me finally
not to tell them about us
you want another chapter of the
love story that we did not finish years ago
now i have to choose the words well
and for the punctuation marks: shall there be a period?
exclaim, i say, exclaim, interject!

Inconsistent Lifestyles
in the lines of a dialogue
we put some markers
of a page of life,
some borders of our
past tolerances,
all commas actually
never a period
and we stop for a while
like a cease and desist order
to look
at all those words from a little
distance
because sometimes
what the microscope of details
says is no longer
important
we still love the forest
but we still cut
some trees
