Angela Carter, from The Erl-King in “The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories” (via adrasteiax)

understanding yourself is power.
You tossed a blanket from the bed, You lay upon your back, and waited; You dozed, and watched the night revealing The thousand sordid images Of which your soul was constituted.
T.S. Eliot, from ‘Preludes (III)’, The Waste Land and Other Poems (via soracities)
You are healing.
You are growing.
You are evolving.
This is a quiet magic.
I am not composing poetry. I am trying to get out of the flames.
Ted Hughes, from an uncompleted poem written c. May 1969 (via violentwavesofemotion)
