More From May Sarton

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!

Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

It is a great thing to be at your age... you are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. but also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. when you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and i will go all the way.' you have the age where you can change. you get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. your age is still an age of exploration.
Inspiring Graduation Dream
You remember when you were maybe five years old and you went out in the morning and you looked at the day - and it was a very, very beautiful day. you looked at flowers and they were very beautiful flowers. twenty-five years later, you get up in the morning, you take a look at the flowers - they are wilted. the day isn't a happy day. well, what's changed? you know they are the same flowers, it's the same world. something must have changed. well, probably it was you.

The only way to do something in depth is to work hard. the moment you start being in love with what you're doing, and thinking it's beautiful or rich, then you're in danger.

Not just beautiful, though — the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. and they’re watching me. what i’ve up till now, what i’m going to do — they know it all. nothing gets past their watchful eyes. as i sit there under the shining night sky, again a violent fear takes hold of me. my heart’s pounding a mile a minute, and i can barely breathe. all these millions of stars looking down on me, and i’ve never given them more than a passing thought before. not just the stars — how many other things haven’t i noticed in the world, things i know nothing about?

We cannot describe the natural history of the soul, but we know that it is divine. all things are known to the soul. it is not to be surprised by any communication. nothing can be greater than it, let those fear and those fawn who will. the soul is in her native realm; and it is wider than space, older than time, wide as hope, rich as love. pusillanimity and fear she refuses with a beautiful scorn; they are not for her who putteth on her coronation robes, and goes out through universal love to universal power.
