Radiance Quotes - Page 8

• The darkness is not so dense as it was; there are faint streaks on the horizon's verge; mist is in the valleys, but there is a radiance on the distant hill. It comes nearer--that promise of the day. The clouds roll rapidly away, and they are fringed with amber and gold. It is, it is the blest sunlight that I feel around me--Morning! It is morning!

• Wine has a drastic, an astringent taste. I cannot help wincing as I drink. Ascent of flowers, radiance and heat, are distilled here to a fiery, yellow liquid. Just behind my shoulder-blades some dry thing, wide-eyed, gently closes, gradually lulls itself to sleep. This is rapture. This is relief.

  Virginia Woolf

• Por joven que sea, el buscador que emprende el camino
  brilla sobre el mundo.
  Pero día y noche el que está despierto
  Brilla en el resplandor del espíritu.
  Medita.
  Vive con pureza.
  Permanece en silencio.
  Haz tu trabajo, con maestría.
  Como la luna, ¡sal de detrás de las nubes!
  ¡Brilla!

• La vida completa, el modelo perfecto, incluye tanto la vejez como la juventud y la madurez. La belleza de la mañana y el resplandor del mediodía son buenos, pero sería una persona muy tonta quien corriera las cortinas y encendiera la luz para dejar fuera la tranquilidad del atardecer. La vejez tiene sus placeres, que, aunque diferentes, no son menores que los placeres de la juventud.

• Our minds must meditate on some object. According to what he thinks, a man can create an atmosphere of radiance, exuberance, buoyancy; and this brings joy. Or he can carry gloom with him. It is a matter of the habit of thought. We must build up our own life by our thoughts. There are many ways by which we can do this. Art, music, even manual work, all can bring ripening to the soul.

• Madre de Roma, delicia de dioses y hombres,
  Querida Venus que bajo las estrellas deslizantes
  haces que crezca la tierra de muchos viajeros
  y fructíferas tierras, pues todos los seres vivos
  sólo por ti son concebidos,
  Por ti se levantan para visitar al gran sol...
  Ante ti, diosa, y tu llegada,
  huye del viento tempestuoso y de las nubes,
  Por ti la Tierra daedal lleva flores perfumadas,
  Por ti las aguas de las profundidades sin velos
  Sonríen, y los huecos del cielo sereno
  brillan con difuso resplandor por ti.

• ...a chasm opened in the earth and out of it coal-black horses sprang, drawing a chariot and driven by one who had a look of dark splendor, majestic and beautiful and terrible.
