everything in moderation!

he who hangs himself
over spiteful remarks:

“The heart asks pleasure – first,
And then excuse from pain.
And then those little anodynes
That deaden suffering.
And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor,
The liberty to die.”
(E. Dickinson no title from Poems from Emily Dickinson)

"The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart. She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple tart. She wanders lowing here and there, And yet she cannot stray, All in the pleasant open air, The pleasant light of day; And blown by all the winds that pass And wet with all the showers, She walks among the meadow grass And eats the meadow flowers." (R.L. Stevenson in The cow) Borgloon (B)
"I many times thought peace had come, When peace was far away; As wrecked men deem they sight the land At centre of the sea ..." (E. Dickinson no title) Genk (B)
