  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Camerado, I give you my hand!
    I give you my love more precise than money,
    I give you myself before preaching or law;
    Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
    Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?

    My call is the call of battle, I nourish active rebellion,
  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Behold through you as bad as the rest,
    Through the laughter, dancing, dining, supping, of people,
    Inside of dresses and ornaments, inside of those wash’d and trimm’d faces,
    Behold a secret silent loathing and despair.
  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Whoever you are, come forth! or man or woman come forth!
    You must not stay sleeping and dallying there in the house, though you built it, or though it has been built for you
  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    To take your lovers on the road with you, for all that you leave them behind you,
    To know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls
  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Listen! I will be honest with you,
    I do not offer the old smooth prizes, but offer rough new prizes,
    These are the days that must happen to you
  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Allons! with power, liberty, the earth, the elements,
    Health, defiance, gayety, self-esteem, curiosity;
    Allons! from all formules!
    From your formules, O bat-eyed and materialistic priests
  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Allons! whoever you are come travel with me!
    Traveling with me you find what never tires.

    The earth never tires,
    The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first, Nature is rude and incomprehensible at first,
    Be not discouraged, keep on, there are divine things well envelop’d,
    I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
    Allons! we must not stop here,
    However sweet these laid-up stores, however convenient this dwelling we cannot remain here,
    However shelter’d this port and however calm these waters we must not anchor here,
    However welcome the hospitality that surrounds us we are permitted to receive it but a little while

    These yearnings why are they? these thoughts in the darkness why are they?
  • Ofelia Rhar citeretfor 3 år siden
    The past, the future, majesty, love—if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them
