Don’t cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

— E. E. Cummings, from “since feeling is first” (via the-final-sentence)

Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted.

— Sylvia Plath  (via paperlover)

Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.

— Here’s a great quote from the illustrious Maya Angelou to brighten a gloomy day.  (via nypl)
