He seems to me equal to gods that man / who opposite you / sits and listens close / to your sweet speaking

and lovely laughing — oh it / puts the heart in my chest on wings / for when I look at you, a moment, then no speaking / is left in me

no: tongue breaks, and thin / fire is racing under skin / and in eyes no sight and drumming / fills ears

and cold sweat holds me and shaking / grips me all, greener than grass / I am and dead — or almost / I seem to me.

Thought:

“When I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me I am in darkness — I am nothing.”

Virginia Woolf | The Waves
