Sweet Night Light

More From Francis Quarles

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.

...i do not mean to say that this general government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world; but i do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.
Mean Thinking Government
Like wind-- in it, with it, of it. of it just like a sail, so light and strong that, even when it is bent flat, it gathers all the power of the wind without hampering its course. like light-- in light, lit through by light, transformed into light. like the lens which disappears in the light it focuses. like wind. like light. just this--on these expanses, on these heights.

When i was a fairly precocious young man i became thoroughly impressed with the futility of the hopes and strivings that chase most men restlessly through life. moreover, i soon discovered the cruelty of that chase, which in those years was much more carefully covered up by hypocrisy and glittering words than is the case today. by the mere existence of his stomach everyone was condemned to participate in that chase. the stomach might well be satisfied by such participation, but not man insofar as he is a thinking and feeling being.

"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. "

There is no night life in spain. they stay up late but they get up late. that is not night life. that is delaying the day. night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. if you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.

Similar Quotes
Let's say someone has experienced a violent trauma or betrayal: a child has been raped by a parent or has witnessed the destruction of someone he loves or has been so traumatized by the possibility of beatings and punishments that he's afraid to act. if the trauma is great enough, that person's life may become frozen, emotionally frozen even though he still gets up in the morning, is busy all day, and goes to bed at night. but there's this empty space that begins to fill with rage, rage toward everyone - the perpetrator, the people in the world who haven't suffered, even toward himself.
