Anything from Raglan Road;

"the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine" (Indigo Girls)

...like holy wine, so bitter and so sweet, oh I could drink a case of you, and I would still be on my feet"

"I stopped into a bar at 3a.m., to seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend, I woke up with a headache like my head against the wall, twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before, and I'd went there seeking clarity" (Indigo Girls)

"But late at night when the cold wind moans, in a long black veil she cries over my bones"

"Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends" (Yeats)

I do not know what it is about you that closes and opens, only something in me understand; the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses; nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands. (ee cummings)

" the leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old, but his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul"
