“Move like a beam of light;
Fly like lightning,
Strike like thunder,
Whirl in circles around
A stable center.”

“But we grow old. Ah! when shall all men's good
Be each man's rule, and universal Peace
Lie like a shaft of light across the land,
And like a lane of beams athwart the sea,
Thro' all the circle of the golden year?”

“Your shadow stealthily
leaves nothing of where you go, like a poisoned needle
that sews together my footsteps.
Your light pliantly
strikes the water tower, like a lightning bolt
that severs the source of my life.
-Soifon”

“Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.”

“Resolutions are flying like snowflakes around here.”

“The hours fly around in a circle.”
Volat hora per orbem.

“True Love in this differs from gold and clay,
That to divide is not to take away.
Love is like understanding, that grows bright,
Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light,
Imagination! which from earth and sky,
And from the depths of human phantasy,
As from a thousand prisms and mirrors, fills
The Universe with glorious beams, and kills
Error, the worm, with many a sun-like arrow
Of its reverberated lightning.”

“Faith, like light, should ever be simple and unbending; while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side, and bend to every necessity of our brethren.”

“The circle of an empty day is brutal and at night it tightens around your neck like a noose.”

“Like a long-legged fly upon the stream
His mind moves upon silence.”
