« All quotes from this author
 

One discards rhyme, not because one is incapable of rhyming neat, fleet, sweet, meet, treat, eat, feet but because there are certain emotions or energies which are nor represented by the over-familiar devices or patterns.
--
"Affirmations: As for Imagism", The New Age, January 1915

Standing, with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet!

 
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
 

In Fleet Street, in Fleet Street, the People are so fleet
They barely touch the cobble-stones with their nimble feet!

 
Eleanor Farjeon
 

Our life energies are the most basic and the most powerful aspect of human beings. Though most people are unaware of it, whichever way our energies play, that’s the way our bodies and our minds and our emotions play. So, once we get the energies—the fundamentals—moving in one direction, we can make sure that our bodies, emotions, and minds are also moving in that direction. -Sadhguru

 
Jaggi Vasudev
 

All wonder of pleasure, all doubt of desire,
All blindness, are ended, and no more ye feel
If your feet treat his flowers or the flames of his fire,
If your breast meet his balms or the edge of his steel.
Change is come, and past over, no more strife, no more learning:
Now your lips and your forehead are sealed with his seal,
Look backward and smile at the thorns and the burning.
— Sweet rest, O my soul, and no fear of returning!

 
William Morris
 

Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind.

 
Joseph Addison
