Quotes about elude, page 3
shhh! Silence
when words elude
emotions fail to express...
silence: allow it to speak.
entertains like friends
horrifies like solitude
silence: fond and rude.
it's sweet and bitter
it's so intoxicating
silence: like wine when once tasted
becomes an addiction.

Still in my life You do enter in (cavatina)
At times the thought that You know me too well
does unnerve me
as I do not constantly think about
love, charity;
the good and great things does at times elude
my thoughts, frankly
I am at times full of the vilest sin
and still in my life You do enter in.

A happy lip—breaks sudden
353
A happy lip—breaks sudden—
It doesn't state you how
It contemplated—smiling—
Just consummated—now—
But this one, wears its merriment
So patient—like a pain—
Fresh gilded—to elude the eyes
Unqualified, to scan—

Poetry In My Ears
The poetry in my
inner ears
now reduced to gestures
terrific imagery's
intimate interludes allude
menagerie gallery aviary
resonant reach
...elude
there is no deliverance from
mundane profane
long weary margins common
swan song swallow
cursive coo sings
taunting misplaced echo

By passing me you pass yourself
I seek you; you skip me.
I pursue; you elude.
I am page one and you page two,
Our eyes not meeting each other.
Pride in your lips; wet are my eyes.
Having understood of you,
I have understood that
You aren’t yet understood.
Having gone past me,
You have gone past yourself.

Trapt
Trapt
In my home
In my mind
In school
These thoughts surround me
I run but cannot elude
the thoughts of despair
Trapt
In isolation
alone, with these thoughts
swirling, straining in my mind
Trying to break free
Trapt
with no chance of redemption
no chance of life.
Just wishes, hopes, dreams, long forgotten.

Either you or I.
Either you speak or I shall;
Don’t let the silence speak.
Either you say or I shall;
Don’t let the dumbness say.
Let me touch you; don’t repel.
Else the reluctance will touch.
Let me steal you; don’t elude
Else the distance will steal.
The seed sown, water must pour;
The plant grown, harvest must start.

Dedication
When the sea leaves the shore dry
When the seven stars
That fly before Orion
Snap their tethers and elude him
Leaving him behind in tears-
Then will I leave you, my dear.
Till then, we're a pair
And will never sever
Here or in heaven, and I swear
By everything beautiful and rare:
Dews, May's breeze, the choruses from Daphne
To be yours foreverever.

Humans may crave absolute certainty; they may aspire to it; they may pretend, as partisans of certain religions do, to have attained it. But the history of science teaches that the most we can hope for is successive improvement in our understanding, learning from our mistakes, an asymptotic approach to the Universe, but with the proviso that absolute certainty will always elude us.

On a Lady Throwing Snow-Balls at Her Lover
[From the Latin of Petronious Ascanius.]
When, wanton fair, the snowy orb you throw,
I feel a fire before unknown in snow.
E'en coldest snow I find has pow'r to warm
My breast, when flung by Julia's lovely arm.
T'elude love's pow'rful arts I strive in vain,
If ice and snow can latent fires contain.
These frolics leave: the force of beauty prove,
With equal passion cool my ardent love.
