who said this= The innermost meaning of sacrifice is the annihilation of the finite just because it is finite. In order to demonstrate that this is the only purpose, the most noble and beautiful must be chosen; above all, man, the fulfillment of the earth. Human sacrifices are the most natural sacrifices. Man, however, is more than the fulfillment of the earth; he is reasonable, and reason is free and nothing but an eternal self-determination toward the infinite. Thus man can sacrifice only himself, and that is what he does in the omnipresent sanctissimum of which the masses are not aware. All artists are self-sacrificing human beings, and to become an artist is nothing but to devote oneself to the subterranean gods. The meaning of divine creation is primarily revealed in the enthusiasm of annihilation. Only in the throes of death is the spark of eternal life ignited.

who said this= Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
by e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

For Lisa with love:

Will you run to me
In the park today
With your crumpled socks
And your little knees
Like butterfly wings
On a summer breeze;
Will you?

Will you go wheeee
Down a green, green slope
That sends us spinning
Throughout a laughing world,
Where the only echoes
Are you and me,
And perhaps,
Just perhaps
The sound of the sea;
Will you?

Will you take my hand
And show me where
my childhood stopped,
And if I dare,
Through you,
So small,so lovingly tall,
Pluck a thread from days
I thought were lost,
Because I wept and fought
And never listened to the sea,
And never stood with
arms outstretched
On a green,green slope with all the rest;
Will you?

Will you teach me
Little scampering one,
What it is to just have fun,
To ride a horse
astride a chair,
And let it take us anywhere;
Will you?

Will you sit upon
my shoulders high,
And trail your fingers
on the sky,
And fill me to the brim,
and then, Tomorrow
do it all again;
Will you
