1 " The Vagabond

Give to me the life I love,
Let the lave go by me,
Give the jolly heaven above
And the byway nigh me.
Bed in the bush with stars to see,
Bread I dip in the river -
There's the life for a man like me,
There's the life for ever.

Let the blow fall soon or late,
Let what will be o'er me;
Give the face of earth around
And the road before me.
Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I seek, the heaven above
And the road below me.

Or let autumn fall on me
Where afield I linger,
Silencing the bird on tree,
Biting the blue finger.
White as meal the frosty field -
Warm the fireside haven -
Not to autumn will I yield,
Not to winter even!

Let the blow fall soon or late,
Let what will be o'er me;
Give the face of earth around,
And the road before me.
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
Nor a friend to know me;
All I ask, the heaven above
And the road below me. "

― Robert Louis Stevenson

2 " Love, is a Bloody Razor Blade

Love came like fire from above
and disappeared like a wet dream,
underneath a leaky kitchen sink

For weeks it went drip, drip, drip…
until it could be, eventually fixed

It took a long time to depreciate
all the things I never had to say

But there are only so many things
that make sense at the end

The rest is merely X-Acto knife love, and
Love, is a bloody razor blade "

― Phil Volatile , White Wedding Lies, and Discontent: An American Love Story

3 " I can give not what men call love;
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the heavens reject not:
The desire of the moth for the star,
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow? "

― Percy Bysshe Shelley
