There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect; it bids a man to ponder or create; and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide.

There Is In Us A Lyric Germ

Norman Douglas
There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect; it bids a man to ponder or create; and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide.

More From Norman Douglas

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.
Dream Pain Real
When we say, "i take refuge in the buddha," we should also understand that "the buddha takes refuge in me," because without the second part the first part is not complete. the buddha needs us for awakening, understanding, and love to be real things and not just concepts. they must be real things that have real effects on life. whenever i say, "i take refuge in the buddha," i hear "the buddha takes refuge in me."
Real Understanding And Love
The fact that labour is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and his mind. the worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself.
Mind Unhappy Energy
Kent. where's the king? gent. contending with the fretful elements; bids the wind blow the earth into the sea, or swell the curled waters 'bove the main, that things might change or cease; tears his white hair, which the impetuous blasts, with eyeless rage, catch in their fury and make nothing of; strives in his little world of man to outscorn the to-and-fro-conflicting wind and rain. this night, wherein the cub-drawn bear would couch, the lion and the belly-pinched wolf keep their fur dry, unbonneted he runs, and bids what will take all.
Running Kings Rain
A woman's chastity consists, like an onion, of a series of coats. you may strip off the outer ones without doing much mischief, perhaps none at all ; but you keep taking off one after another, in expectation of coming to the inner nucleus, including the whole value of the matter. it proves, however, that there is no such nucleus, and that chastity is diffused through the whole series of coats, is lessened with the removal of each, and vanishes with the final one which you supposed would introduce you to the hidden pearl.
Expectations Finals Onions
Atoms have a nucleus, made of protons and neutrons bound together. around this nucleus shells of electrons spin, and each shell is either full or trying to get full, to balance with the number of protons-to balance the number of positive and negative charges. an atom is like a human heart, you see.

I couldn't allow myself to think about her very long; if i had i would have jumped off the bridge. it's strange. i had become so reconciled to this life without her, and yet if i thought about her only for a minute it was enough to pierce the bone and marrow of my contentment and shove me back again into the agonizing gutter of my wretched past.
Broken Heart Past Thinking
Artists and creative workers - people who have accomplished work worthwhile have had a very high sense of the way to do things. they haven't been contented with mediocrity. they haven't confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others do them, but always a little better. few are those who see with their own eyesand feel with their own hearts.
Heart Artist Track
Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird! no hungry generations tread thee down; the voice i hear this passing night was heard in ancient days by emperor and clown: perhaps the self-same song that found a path through the sad heart of ruth, when, sick for home, she stood in tears amid the alien corn; the same that ofttimes hath charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
