“And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many.”
—The Return of the King, J.R.R. Tolkien (via fuckyeahliteraryquotes)
do i dare disturb the universe?
And would it be worth it, after all
After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
Among the porcelain, among some talk of
you and me,
Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball,
To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
To say: “I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all”-
If one, settling a pillow by her head,
should say:
“This is not what I meant at all,
That is not it, at all.”
-The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
T.S. Eliot
