• The vineyard country, russet, reddish, carmine-brown in this season.
  A blue outline of hills above a fertile valley.
  It's warm as long as the sun does not set, in the shade cold returns.
  A strong sauna and then swimming in a pool surrounded by trees.
  Dark redwoods, transparent pale-leved birches.
  In their delicate network, a sliver of the moon.
  I describe this for I have learned to doubt philosophy
  And the visible world is all that remains.

  Czeslaw Milosz

• La tontería prevalece, la modestia fracasa La gracia y la virtud se convierten en estupidez Mientras el calendario desvanece casi todas las barricadas a un pálido compromiso Y nuestros líderes hacen fiestas en los traseros de las bestias Siguen pensando que son los dioses de la antigüedad Si algo que echabas de menos ni siquiera existía Era sólo un ideal ¿Es tanta sorpresa?

• The sight filled the northern sky; the immensity of it was scarcely conceivable. As if from Heaven itself, great curtains of delicate light hung and trembled. Pale green and rose-pink, and as transparent as the most fragile fabric, and at the bottom edge a profound fiery crimson like the fires of Hell, they swung and shimmered loosely with more grace than the most skillful dancer.

• The pale stars are gone! For the sun, their swift shepherd, To their folds them compelling, In the depths of the dawn, Hastes, in meteor-eclipsing array, and the flee Beyond his blue dwelling, As fawns flee the leopard.

• Traed la prímula que muere desamparada, la pata de gallo y la pálida gessamina, la rosa blanca y el pensamiento de azabache, la violeta resplandeciente, la rosa mosqueta y la parra bien atada, con la flor de vaca que cuelga de la cabeza pensativa, y todas las flores que lleva el triste bordado: Que el amaranto derrame toda su belleza, y los narcisos llenen sus copas de lágrimas, para esparcir el laureado féretro donde yace Lácido.

• Here eglantine embalm'd the air, Hawthorne and hazel mingled there; The primrose pale, and violet flower, Found in each cliff a narrow bower; Fox-glove and nightshade, side by side, Emblems of punishment and pride, Group'd their dark hues with every stain The weather-beaten crags retain.

• Just as a dancer, turning and turning, may fill the dusty light with the soft swirl of her flying skirts, our weeping willow -- now old and broken , creaking in the breeze -- turns slowly, slowly in the winter sun, sweeping the rusty roof of the barn with the pale blue lacework of her shadow.

• How many mysteries have you seen in your lifetime? How many nets pulled full over the boat's side, each silver body ready or not falling into submission? How many roses in early summer uncurling above the pale sands then falling back in unfathomable willingness? And what can you say? Glory to the rose and the leaf, to the seed, to the silver fish. Glory to time and the wild fields, and to joy. And to grief's shock and torpor, its near swoon.

• See how the world (whose chaste and pregnant womb Of late conceiv'd, and brought forth nothing ill) Is now degenerated, and become A base adult'ress, whose false births do fill The earth with monsters, monsters that do roam And rage about, and make a trade to kill: Now glutt'ny paunches, and avarice a pawn; Pale envy pines, pride swells, and sloth begins to yawn.

• He tenido la gran satisfacción de conocer y trabajar con muchos estadounidenses abiertamente gays y lesbianas, y me he dado cuenta de que "gay" es una categoría artificial cuando se trata de medir el rendimiento en el trabajo o el compromiso con objetivos compartidos de un hombre o una mujer. Dice poco de la persona. Nuestras diferencias y prejuicios palidecen al lado de nuestro reto histórico.

• Durante la universidad, cuando trabajaba a tiempo completo para mi padre [el decorador Mark Hampton], alquilé un apartamento y no podía tomarme tiempo libre para pintarlo. Así que fui una tarde y me pasé toda la noche pintando lo que yo creía que era un precioso amarillo pálido. Cuando salió el sol, me di cuenta de que había pintado las paredes del color de la locura. Tuve que mezclar inmediatamente todos los colores de las molduras para atenuarlo. El amarillo es un color eléctrico y totalmente engañoso. Se vuelve más amarillo con la luz amarilla del sol. La moraleja es que, aunque creas que tu amarillo es el elegido, ve más pálido.

• The childlike, gum-chewing naivete, the glamour rooted in despair, the self-admiring carelessness, the perfected otherness, the wispiness, the shadowy, voyeuristic, vaguely sinister aura, the pale, soft-spoken magical presence, the skin and bones . . .

• Por eso la luna, la gobernanta de las inundaciones,
  Pálida en su ira lava todo el aire,
  para que abunden las enfermedades reumáticas;
  Y a través de esta destemplanza vemos
  Las estaciones se alteran: heladas de cabeza dura
  Caen en el fresco regazo de la rosa carmesí.
