Cradle Quotes - Page 5

• Our hearts where they rocked our cradle, Our love where we spent our toil, And our faith, and our hope, and our honor, We pledge to our native soil. God gave all men all earth to love, But since our hearts are small, Ordained for each one spot should prove Beloved over all.

  Rudyard Kipling

  Heart, Men, Patriotism

• In India the mother is the center of the family and our highest ideal. She is to us the representative of God, as God is the mother of the universe. It was a female sage who first found the unity of God, and laid down this doctrine in one of the first hy mns of the Vedas. Our God is both personal and absolute, the absolute is male, the personal, female. And thus it comes that we now say: 'The first manifestation of God is the hand that rocks the cradle'.

• Could the waters of the Atlantic be drawn off, so as to expose to view this great sea-gash, which separates continents, and extends from the Arctic to the Antarctic, it would present a scene the most rugged, grand, and imposing. The very ribs of the solid earth, with the foundations of the sea, would be brought to light, and we should have presented to us at one view the empty cradle of the ocean.

• Eventually we must leave Earth-at least a certain number of our progeny must as our sun approaches the end of its solar life cycle. But just as terrestrial explorers have always led the way for settlers, this will also happen extraterrestrially. Earth is our cradle, not our final destiny.

• Pero, ¡oh!, el latín... Señora, no puede hacerse una idea del desastre que es. Los romanos nunca habrían tenido tiempo de conquistar el mundo si primero se hubieran visto obligados a aprender latín. Suerte que ya conocían desde la cuna los sustantivos terminados en im. Yo, por el contrario, tuve que aprenderlo de memoria, con el sudor de mi frente.

• Si pudiera poner el dedo en la llaga, lo embotellaría y lo vendería. Vine aquí en 1972 con unos chicos borrachos de una fraternidad y nunca había visto nada igual: el clima, los olores. Es la cuna de la música; me volvió loco. Alguien sugirió que hay una parte incompleta de nuestros cromosomas que se repara o se encuentra cuando llegamos a Nueva Orleans. Algunos de nosotros pertenecemos a este lugar.

• Contar la historia, reunir los acontecimientos, repetirlos. El patrón es una cuestión de mantenimiento. De lo contrario, el tejido se relaja hasta convertirse en hilos que recogen los pájaros para hacer sus nidos. Repite, o la historia caerá y todos los caballos del rey y todos los hombres del rey. . . . Repite, y acuna las piezas con cuidado, o los acontecimientos se dispersarán como canicas en un suelo de madera.

• I lay my tasks down one by one; I sit in the silence of twilight grace. Out of the shadows, deep and dun, Steals, like a star, my Baby's face. .... I will take up my work once more, As if I had never laid it down. Who will dream that I ever wore, In triumph, motherhood's sacred crown? .... Nevertheless, the way is long, And tears leap up in the light of the sun. I'd give my world for a cradle-song, And a kiss from Baby?only one.

  Mary C. Ames

• África - Puedes ver una puesta de sol y creer que has presenciado la Mano de Dios. Observas el lomo inclinado de una leona y te olvidas de respirar. Te maravillas ante el trípode de una jirafa inclinada hacia el agua. En África, hay azules iridiscentes en las alas de los pájaros que no se ven en ningún otro lugar de la naturaleza. En África, en el corazón del mediodía, puedes ver ampollas en la atmósfera. Cuando estás en África, te sientes primordial, mecido en la cuna del mundo.

• It's coming to America first, The cradle of the best and of the worst. It's here they got the range And the machinery for change And it's here they got the spiritual thirst. It's here the family's broken And it's here the lonely say That the heart has got to open In a fundamental way: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. O mighty Ship of State! To the Shores of Need Past the Reefs of Greed Through the Squalls of Hate Sail on, sail on.

• Trabajadores del mundo, despertad. Romped vuestras cadenas, exigid vuestros derechos.

  ¿Es el colmo de tu ambición ser un esclavo bueno y dispuesto?
