We prefer Shakespearean Sonnets, reflections on Space and Time, and posts along the lines of:

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear. Bible

We must be steady enough in ourselves, to be open and to let the winds of life blow through us, to be our breath, our inspiration; to breathe with them, mobile and soft in the limberness of our bodies, in our agility, our ability, as it were, to dance, and yet to stand upright. T. S. Eliot

It is our continuing goal to foster the world's greatest converstation.

The only way to have a friend is to be one. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves. T. S. Eliot
