culham_mark: Victoria Sackville-West's Shorter Poems
Where most is hidden, there is most revealed.
Much have I loved the night, and gone afield
Drinking the deep nocturnal silences;
For when such silence reigns, then most profound
Well up the sources of those cadences

lovedvirginiaa: "And so it ends,
We who were lovers may be friends.
I have some weeks in which to steel
My heart and teach myself to feel
Only a sober tenderness
Where once was passion's loveliness."
- Victoria Sackville-West.
lovedvirginiaa: "You speak of God, but you have cut
The one last thread, as you have shut
The one last door that open stood
To show me still the way to God.
If this be God, this pain, this evil,
I'd sooner change and try the Devil."
- Victoria Sackville-West.

flamebearr: “Days I enjoy are days when nothing happens,
When no one comes to take me away from myself
And turn me into a patchwork, a jig-saw puzzle,
Being so contrived that it takes too long a time
To get myself back to myself when they have gone.“
— Victoria Sackville West

KataraSedai: I had not thought that there would come
Your touch to make our music dumb,
Your meeting touch upon the string
That still was vibrant, still could sing
When I impatiently might wait
Or parted from you at the gate.

1892 — 1962
EVENING
When little lights in little ports come out,
Quivering down through water with the stars,
And all the fishing fleet of slender spars
Range at their moorings, veer with tide about;
Faust89823700: All her lovers have passed, her beautiful lovers have passed,
The young and eager men that fought for her arrogant hand,
And the only voice which endures to mourn for her at the last
Is the voice of the lonely land.
