Poetry Quote by Charlotte Eriksson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You were the hardest year of my life and I’ve never been so happy. What does that say about me?”

““I haven’t been very impressed lately.”

“I am not a finished poem, and I am not the song you’ve turned me into. I am a detached human being, making my way in a world that is constantly trying to push me aside, and you who send me letters and emails and beautiful gifts wouldn’t even recognise me if you saw me walking down the street where I live tomorrow”

“You become a house where the wind blows straight through, because no one bothers the crack in the window or lock on the door, and you’re the house where people come and go as they please, because you’re simply too unimpressed to care. You let people in who you really shouldn’t let in, and you let them walk around for a while, use your bed and use your books, and await the day when they simply get bored and leave. You’re still not bothered, though you knew they shouldn’t have been let in in the first place, but still you just sit there, apathetic like a beggar in the desert.”

“So for now,”

“ولأنني رغم القبور..”

“My thoughts, I think, will soon be sound.”

“All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair—”

“You will come away bruised.”

“The young student sits with his head bent over his books, and his mind straying in youth's dreamland; where prose is prowling on the desk and poetry hiding in the heart.”

“Come, my darling,”
