There are things of which i may not speak; there are dreams that cannot die; there are thoughts that make the strong heart weak, and bring a pallor into the cheek, and a mist before the eye.

There Are Things Of Which I May

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There are things of which i may not speak; there are dreams that cannot die; there are thoughts that make the strong heart weak, and bring a pallor into the cheek, and a mist before the eye.

More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.

He tunneled into stories where weak men changed into strong half-animals or used eye beams or magic hammers to power through steel or climb up the sides of skyscrapers. he was the hulk when angry and spidey the rest of the time. when he felt his heart hurt he turned into something stronger than a little boy, and he grew up this way. a heart that flashed from heart to stone, heart to stone. as i watched i thought of what grandma lynn liked to say when lindsey and i rolled our eyes or grimaced behind her back. "watch out what faces you make. you'll freeze that way.

The thing that impressed me then as now about new york… was the sharp, and at the same time immense, contrast it showed between the dull and the shrewd, the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, the wise and the ignorant… the strong, or those who ultimately dominated, were so very strong, and the weak so very, very weak - and so very, very many.

I certainly don't sit down and plan a book out before i write it. there's a phrase i use called "the valley full of clouds." writing a novel is as if you are going off on a journey across a valley. the valley is full of mist, but you can see the top of a tree here and the top of another tree over there. and with any luck you can see the other side of the valley. but you cannot see down into the mist. nevertheless, you head for the first tree.

Your children are not your children. they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. they come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. you may give them your love, but not your thoughts. for they have their own thoughts. you may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. for life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.
