Stellar Words

If you blush, I’ll build breakwaters. When you’re tired, I’ll tidy your table. If you cry, I’ll climb crags. When you’re sick, I’ll sit at your side. If you frown, I’ll fence fields. When you’re ashamed, I’ll shine your shoes. If you laugh, I’ll liberate lands. When you’re depressed, I’ll play you the piano. If you sigh, I’ll sack cities. When you’re unlucky, I’ll launder your linen. If you sing, I’ll save souls. When you’re hurt, I’ll hold your hand. If you smile, I’ll smelt silver. When you’re afraid, I’ll fetch you food. If you talk, I’ll track down trolls. When you’re on edge, I’ll empty your ash-tray. If you whisper, I’ll wage wars. When you’re cross, I’ll clean your coat. If you whistle, I’ll water wastes. When you’re bored, I’ll bathe your brows.

‘I thought you meant to be a magician not an explorer!’

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: 

We hear war called murder. It is not: it is suicide.

For we fight not for glory, nor riches, nor honours, but for freedom alone, which no good man gives up except with his life.

When I suffer in mind, stories are my refuge; I take them like opium; and I consider one who writes them as a sort of doctor of the mind...
