Homer

Homer

Homer
Beauty! Terrible Beauty! A deathless Goddess-- so she strikes our eyes!
Homer
Like a girl, a baby running after her mother, begging to be picked up, and she tugs on her skirts, holding her back as she tries to hurry off—all tears, fawning up at her, till she takes her in her arms… That’s how you look, Patroclus, streaming live tears.
Homer
Good things don't end in -eum they end in -mania or -teria.
Homer
We mortals hear only the news, and know nothing at all.
Homer
The best things beyond their measure cloy.
Homer
Bear patiently, my heart, for you have suffered heavier things.
Homer
