Answer 1

Poem:
"He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven"
- William Butler Yeats

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

Quote:
"The pig died for you to eat not pet"
lol I don't really have a favorite quote

Answer 2

Your quote by Pablo Picasso - who was an artist, that they say had bipolar affective disorder because he would paint for days at a time....and then crash.....which although they did not diagnose artists in those days.....is a definite sign of harsh mood swings.
Picasso and many artists need the great mood swings....and they feel creative during that time....if they calm down...they painted nothing they liked!......creative genius.

When you have that swing, then they crash, get bored and do it again.

By the way, did you ever hear of the quote....

"The chaos will leave when you no longer have a need for it".

Poem by Emily Dickinson -

So slow and cautiously;
The stars about my head I felt,
About my feet the sea.

I knew not but the next
Would be my final inch,—
This gave me that precarious gait
Some call experience.

Poem:
A Knight Came Riding
Anonymous

A knight came riding from the east,
Jennifer, gentle and rosemary,
Who had been wooing at every place,
As the dove flies over the mulberry tree.
He came and knocked at the ladies' gate,
One evening when it was growing late,
The eldest sister let him in,
And pinned the door with a silver pin.
The second sister, she made his bed,
And laid soft pillows under his head.
The youngest sister was bold and bright,
She would wed this 'unco knight.
If you answer me these questions three,
This very day will I marry thee,
O, what is louder nor a horn,
What is sharper nor a thorn,
What is heavier nor the lead,
And what is better nor the bread,
O, what is higher nor a tree,
And what is deeper nor the sea?
O, shame is louder nor a horn,
And hunger sharper nor a thorn,
Sin is heavier nor the lead,
And blessing's better nor the bread,
O, Heaven's higher nor the tree,
And love is deeper nor the sea.
You have answered my questions three,
Jennifer, gentle and rosemary,
And so, fair maid, will I marry thee,
As the dove flies over the mulberry tree.

Answer 10

Quote:

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."

Jim Morrison

Poem:

But When He Looks At You




But when he looks at you,
With those trusting brown eyes,
And says, “Where do I go from here?”
Knowing the end is so close;
How do you answer,
In all of life’s knowledge
You’ve been given?

To have to close those brown eyes forever,
Before anyone is told or allowed to come,
To gently place one final, sweet kiss.
Clinging to the one last warm embrace of life,
As the last breathe fills your ear,
Then there is only silence…

Still in disbelief,
You take the ring from his finger,
The unbroken symbol of love
That has now ended,
The one most precious in his life;
Snip a locket of his hair to place
In the pendant that stays closest to your heart.

And along with your broken heart,
You let God carry him home to eternity,
Never to return…
Perhaps a dream, a verse, a song,
A smell or a sound will remind,
But oh, how the loneliness prevails!

In the finality, a few words on a stone,
Words of a heart for a lifetime of love
But his words to me...Is all that is left.
