The Negro Speaks of Rivers - Langston Hughes


I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I danced in the Nile when I was old
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

suicide's note - Langston Hughes


The calm,
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss.

"Δεν αγαπώ τον κόσμο μέσα στον οποίο τελευτώ...το ανθρώπινο είδος--λόγω του πλήθους του--ζει μία κατάσταση εσωτερικής δηλητηρίασης...πολλά είδη εξαφανίζονται απ' αυτές τις τόσο τρομακτικές απερημώσεις"

Enya - Evening Falls



When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
from within me calls - could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.

As I walk there before me a shadow
from another world, where no other can follow.
carry me to my own, to where I can cross over...
close to home - I cannot say.
close to home feeling so far away.

Forever searching; never right, I am lost
in oceans of night. Forever
hoping I can find memories.
those memories I left behind.

Even though I leave will I go on believing
that this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
like a child passing through, never knowing the reason.
I am home - I know the way.
I am home - feeling oh, so far away.
