Fire And Ice (Robert Frost)

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Dreams (Edgar Allan Poe)



Oh! that my young life were a lasting dream!
My spirit not awak'ning, till the beam
Of an Eternity should bring the morrow.
Yes! tho' that long dream were of hopeless sorrow.
‘Twere better than the cold reality
Of waking life, to him whose heart must be,
And hath been still, upon the lovely earth,
A chaos of deep passion, from his birth.
But should it be — that dream eternally
Continuing — as dreams have been to me
In my young boyhood — should it thus be giv'n
‘Twere folly still to hope for higher Heav'n.
For I have revell'd when the sun was bright
In the summer sky, in dreams of living light.
And loveliness, — have left my very heart
Inclines of mine imaginary [[In climes of my imaginings]] apart
From mine own home, with beings that have been
Of mine own thought — what more could I have seen?
‘Twas once — and only once — and the wild hour
From my remembrance shall not pass — some pow'r
Or spell had bound me — 'twas the chilly wind
Came o'er me in the night, and left behind
Its image on my spirit — or the moon
Shone on my slumbers in her lofty noon
Too coldly — or the stars — howe'er it was
That dream was as that night-wind — let it pass.
I have been happy, tho' in a dream.
I have been happy — and I love the theme :
Dreams ! in their vivid colouring of life
As in that fleeting, shadowy, misty strife
Of semblance with reality which brings
To the delirious eye, more lovely things
Of Paradise and Love — and all our own!
Than young Hope in his sunniest hour hath known.

A letter to my dear Lord



Dear God,
I would like to say that I am glad to have this opportunity to work here in this dimension.
I have learned lots of thing, nevertheless I know I have to learn much more.
The more I learn, the more I can see that I am too little.
Thanks for giving me my family and my friends, after all we are all in the same ship.
Thanks for teaching me how to analyze the world.
Please, give me strength, because sometimes the road gets difficult. Help my family (and friends) too. Guide our actions and keep us away from the sin.
As sinner, we are weak. We need your help.
I know you are inside me and everywhere. I can not describe you through words, I can only feel you.
So let me feel you!

(By Matheus P.)
