Words That Take Your Breath Away














If there be grief, then let it be rain,
And this but silver grief for grieving's sake,
If these green woods be dreaming here to wake
Within my hear, if I should rouse again.

But I shall sleep, for where is any death
While in these blue hills slumbrous overhead
I'm rooted like a tree? Though I be dead,
This earth that holds me fast will find me breath.

William Faulkner
