abarero 's writing prompt request got me scavenging for words and phrases she could use. I'm thinking, I'm liking this idea. So I think I'll do something similar myself. Although, to what end I don't know. But I like words. By which I mean love, so...

Opening line from the poem 'To his coy mistress' by Andrew Marvell
Had we but world enough, and time,

The name of an album by Emilliana Torrini
Love in the time of science

From Little Gidding - T.S Eliot
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
