If you wish,
I shall grow irreproachably tender:
not a man, but a cloud in trousers!

I grow old ... I grow old ...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

 

Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot

 

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

 

Eleanor Roosevelt

 

Dread deities, the giant powers that warred on men
Grow tender brothers and gay children once again;
Fades every hate away before the Mother's breast
Where all the exiles of the heart return to rest.

 

George William Russell

 

When you are losing it can seem like there is a black cloud following you around, but like they say there is a silver lining in every cloud.

 

Mario Andretti

 

This cloud, this cloud —
Says "Noah,
C'mon and build me an Ark."
And if you're coming, jump,
'Cause
We're leaving with the Big Sky.

 

Kate Bush
