Adam Lindsay Gordon Quotes

• There comes a point in your life when you realize:
  Who matters,
  Who never did,
  Who won't anymore,
  And who always will.
  So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

• I would that with sleepy, soft embraces The sea would fold mewould find me rest In luminous shades of her secret places, In depths where her marvels are manifest; So the earth beneath her should not discover My hidden couchnor the heaven above her As a strong love shielding a weary lover, I would have her shield me with shining breast.
