Rainer Maria Rilke 1875-1926 ~ David Bowie 1947- ...Changes

Otherwise this stone...would not from all borders of itself,
burst like a star: for here there is no place that doesnot see you.
You must change your life...

Walt Whitman 1819-1892 ~ Frank Zappa 1940-1993 ...Bamboozled By Love

I contradict myself?
So, I contradict myself!
I am infinite.
I contain multitudes.

William Butler Yeats 1865-1939 ~ Bob Dylan 1941- ...Sara

I shall find the dark grow luminous, the void fruitful when
I understand I have nothing, that the ringers in the tower
have appointed for the hymen of the soul a passing bell.

C.G. Jung 1893-1956 ~ Danny Michel 1970- ...If God's On Your Side

One doesnot become enlightened by imagining figures of light,
but by making the darkness conscious.

Julian Norwich 1342-1416 ~ John Hiatt 1952 ... Slow Turning

As the body is clothed in cloth
and the muscles in the skin
and the bones in the muscles
and the heart in the chest,
so are we, body and soul,
clothed in the Goodness of God
and enclosed.

St John of the Cross 1542-1591 ~ Fred Eaglesmith 1957- ...Get On Your Knees & Pray

There in the lucky dark,
none to observe me, darkness far and wide;
no sign for me to mark,
no other light, no guide except for my heart -
the fire, the fire inside!

George Moore 1852-1933 ~ Crow & Spooky Tooth ...Evil Woman

Did I love thee? I only did desire to
hold thy body unto mine and smite it with
the strange fire of kisses burning as a wine!
