“Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.”

“Let your heart look
on white sea spray
and be lonely.

Love is a fool star.

You and a ring of stars
may mention my name
and then forget me.

Love is a fool star.”

“Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!
For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,
Some starless night!”

“Love is similar to fire. Because none of us can master it. Fire burns your hands, while love deals with your heart and mind.”

“They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.”

“Love in your hearts as idly burns
As fire in antique Roman urns.”

“While you have a future do not live too much in contemplation of your past: unless you are content to walk backward the mirror is a poor guide.”

“Every sleepy light
Must say goodbye
To the day before it dies
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Keep us close to your heart
So if the skies turn dark
We may live on in
Comets and stars.”

“Though the dream of love may tire,
In the ages long agone
There were ruby hearts of fire —
Ah, the daughters of the dawn!”

“Though life has to be lived forward, it can only be understood backwards”
