From my stone pillow i have dreamed dreams of the mortal world above. i have heard its voices, its new music, as lullabies as i lie in my grave. i have envisioned its fantastical discoveries. i have known its courage in the timeless sanctum of my thoughts. and though it shuts me out with its dazzling forms, i long for one with the strength to roam it fearlessly, to ride the devil's road through its heart.

From My Stone Pillow I Have Dreamed

Anne Rice
From my stone pillow i have dreamed dreams of the mortal world above. i have heard its voices, its new music, as lullabies as i lie in my grave. i have envisioned its fantastical discoveries. i have known its courage in the timeless sanctum of my thoughts. and though it shuts me out with its dazzling forms, i long for one with the strength to roam it fearlessly, to ride the devil's road through its heart.

For its part, government will listen. we will strive to listen in new ways - to the voices of quiet anguish, to voices that speak without words, the voices of the heart, to the injured voices, and the anxious voices, and the voices that have despaired of being heard.

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.

I wept in my dreams. i dreamed you lay in the grave; i awoke, and the tears still poured down my cheeks. i wept in my dreams, i dreamed you had left me; i awoke and i went on weeping long and bitterly. i wept in my dreams, i dreamed you were still kind to me; i awoke, and still the flow of my tears streams on.

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.
