Robert Frost is my favorite poet... this poem "Bond and Free" sort of gives out a vibe similar to the attitude I wanted for A Far Away Place... Bond and Free
Love has earth to which she clings With hills and circling arms about-- Wall within wall to shut fear out. But Thought has need of no such things, For Thought has a pair of dauntless wings.
On snow and sand and turn, I see Where Love has left a printed trace With straining in the world's embrace. And such is Love and glad to be But Thought has shaken his ankles free.
Thought cleaves the interstellar gloom And sits in Sirius' disc all night, Till day makes him retrace his flight With smell of burning on every plume, Back past the sun to an earthly room.
His gains in heaven are what they are. Yet some say Love by being thrall And simply staying possesses all In several beauty that Thought fares far To find fused in another star. Robert Frost

"Hold You in My Smile" - Ernestine Northover
Sweet moment, stay with me, and pray do not flee so soon, Let me enjoy the bliss of that first kiss beneath the moon. I wish to cradle this feeling, that has only just been found, A feeling that has unexpectedly turned my world around. Do not depart, Oh please remain within my heart awhile, So that I can savour you once more, and hold you in my smile.
