"Soyez muette pour moi," -Allen Ginsberg

Hello. o/

Nice to meet you. I'm Amanda.
I live in beautiful British Columbia.
I'm fairly young. But tall. Very very tall.
I love poetry, astronomy, and the Killers.
I've got no motivation for long stories, so don't expect anything big out of me.
My current love is Ulquiorra from Bleach, but when the next book in the Gone series comes out, I'll be all over Drake Merwin and Caine Soren.
I'm also a lover of the TV show Heroes; Sylar and Claire are constantly shipped with me.

Amanda out.

Atomic

The splitting apart
Of man from man
Dooms more than splitting
The atom can

In one blaze, will
All things be gone:
The Empire State
And the Parthenon?

And must the sudden
Atom's flash
Turn cities, statues,
And poems to ash?

Quick! The Foe
In us is curled,
More fearsome than any
Foe in the world!

-Louis Ginsberg

The Clod and the Pebble

“Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell’s despair."

So sung a little clod of clay,
Trodden with the cattle’s feet;
But a pebble of the brook
Warbled out these meters meet:

“Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another’s loss of ease,
And builds a hell in heaven’s despite.”

-William Blake

Faith is a fine invention

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

-Emily Dickinson

Death

Why do you fear me?
I am your friend.
I but guide trav’lers
Rounding the bend—
Lead them to freedom
From time and age,
Help them start writing
On a new page...

Seek for me never,
Keep your course true—
When I am needed
I’ll come to you,
Then I will show you
Roads without end—
Why do you fear me?
I am your friend.

-Clarence E. Flynn
