attentionto QUOTES

1 " since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis "

― E.E. Cummings

2 " Unless you call attentionto your presencewho will know you're there?Even a countryhas to weave and wave a flagas proof of its existence. "

3 " Thus with most careful devotion
Thus with precise attention
To detail, interfering preparation
Of that which is already prepared
Men tighten the knot of confusion
Into perfect misunderstanding. "

― T.S. Eliot , The Family Reunion
