Coisas que li...e gostei

Estava lendo um blog que eu gosto muito, do Dr. Ken Kraven (True Wester), e achei um outro blog, que também gostei (à primeira vista), é o Theology of Desire.

Encontrei alguns pensamentos e breves poemas, que vou transcrever aqui.

All Great Things

"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: Freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope."

--Winston Churchill

I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment, what is this then?
I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea.


There is something in staying close to men and women and looking on them, and in the contact and odor of them, that pleases the soul well,
All things please the soul, but these please the soul well.

--Walt Whitman


You would wish long and long to be with him, you would wish to sit by him in the boat that you and he might touch each other.

--Walt Whitman
