70. WHEN ...

70.
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight
from the darkness of movie house,
I had only two things on my mind:
Paul Newman and a ride home.

68. OFTEN ...

68.
Often she passed whole hours walking up and down the 
paths of the woods; she wove garlands of flowers and ivy,
or watched the flickering of shadows and glancing of the leaves;
sometimes she sat beside a stream, and as her thoughts paused,
threw flowers or pebbles into the waters, watching how those 
swam and these sunk, or she would set afloat boats formed 
of bark of trees or leaves, with a feather for a sail, and 
intensely watch the navigation of her craft among the
rapids and shallows of the brook.

{Mary Shelley, The Last Man}

67. THEN ...

67.
Then those curiosities become realities –
realities of art which help to lift life
out of its mediocrity.

66. ONCE ...

66.
Once they were gone, who would remember what he did,
what happened to him, or what it meant?

65. SHE ...

65.
She returned before noon, he was asleep again;
she sat on the side of the bed, her hand in his hair,
rolling his head on the pillow to shake him awake,
still in the open coat and the hat shoved back from
her forehead, looking down at him with the sober
yellow profundity, and now he mused indeed on
that efficiency of women in the mechanics,
the domiciling, of cohabitation.

{William Faulkner, The Wild Palms}

The room was swirling with sun and he rested there 
content in the brightness.
