Remy de Gourmont
“It appears, from all this, that our eyes are uncertain. Two persons look at the same clock and there is a difference of two or three minutes in their reading of the time. One has a tendency to put back the hands, the other to advance them. Let us not too confidently try to play the part of the third person who wishes to set the first two aright; it may well happen that we are mistaken in turn. Besides, in our daily life, we have less need of certainty than of a certain approximation to certainty. Let us learn how to see, but without looking too closely at things and men: they look better from a distance.”
Remy de Gourmont, Philosophic Nights in Paris

Alfred Noyes
“Stand like a beaten anvil, when thy dream
Is laid upon thee, golden from the fire.
Flinch not, though heavily through that furnace-gleam
The black forge-hammers fall on thy desire.

Demoniac giants round thee seem to loom.
'Tis but the world-smiths heaving to and fro.
Stand like a beaten anvil. Take the doom
Their ponderous weapons deal thee, blow on blow.

Needful to truth as dew-fall to the flower
Is this wild wrath and this implacable scorn.
For every pang, new beauty, and new power,
Burning blood-red shall on thy heart be born.

Stand like a beaten anvil. Let earth's wrong
Beat on that iron and ring back in song.”
Alfred Noyes, Collected Poems Complete

Mo Daviau, Every Anxious Wave

Ron Acosta
“Confession, when given in a state of repentance (being genuinely sorry), is not for the weakhearted. Neither is it weak in what it was designed to do. It requires a personal resolve and humility to voice out loud what you did or didn’t do so that you can become right with God, the offended party, and yourself.”
Ron Acosta, Unstoppable Grace: A Memoir
