In the great wealth, the great firmament of your nation's generosities this particular choice may perhaps be found by future generations as a trifle eccentric, but the mere fact of it . . . the prodigal, pure, human kindness of it . . . must be seen as a beautiful star in that firmament which shines upon me at this moment, dazzling me a little, but filling me with warmth of the extraordinary elation, the euphoria that happens to so many of us at the first breath of the majestic glow of a new tomorrow.

More From Laurence Olivier

From space, astronauts can see people making love as a tiny speck of light. not light, exactly, but a glow that could be confused for light - a coital radiance that takes generations to pour like honey through the darkness to the astronaut's eyes. in about one and a half centuries - after the lovers who made the glow will have long since been laid permanently on their backs - the metropolitan cities will be seen from space. they will glow all year. smaller cities will also be seen, but with great difficulty. towns will be virtually impossible to spot. individual couples invisible.

A mere trifle consoles us, for a mere trifle distresses us.

What sex is, we don't know, but it must be some sort of fire. for it always communicates a sense of warmth, of glow. and when this glow becomes a pure shine, then we feel the sense of beauty. we all have the fire of sex slumbering or burning inside us. if we live to be ninety, it is still there. or, if it dies, we become one of those ghastly living corpses which are unfortunately becoming more numerous in the world.
Sex Fire Shining
Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.
Sweet Morning Stars
Must love be ever treated with profaneness as a mere illusion? or with coarseness as a mere impulse? or with fear as a mere disease? or with shame as a mere weakness? or with levity as a mere accident? whereas it is a great mystery and a great necessity, lying at the foundation of human existence, morality, and happiness,--mysterious, universal, inevitable as death.
Love Lying Disease
You don't want to spend your time around people who make you hold your breath. you can't fill up when you're holding your breath. and writing is about filling up, filling up when you are empty, letting images and ideas and smells run down like water - just as writing is also about dealing with the emptiness.

They wanna hang us, see us dead, or enslave us, keep us trapped in the same place we raised in. then they wonder why we act so outrageous, run around stressed out and pull out gauges.
