What I feel for you can’t be conveyed in phrasal combinations It either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise — it beats words. It beats worlds. I promise

I am a recluse at present & do nothing but write & read & read & write
Katherine Mansfield
Image
In the shortest sea voyage there is no sense of time. You have been down in the cabin for hours or days or years. Nobody knows or cares. You know all the people to the point of indifference. You do not believe in dry land any more - you are caught in the pendulum itself, and left there, idly swinging.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
I saw myself driving through Eternity in a timeless taxi.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
Yes, my mother's death is a terrible sorrow to me. I feel - do you know what I mean - the silence of it so. She was more alive than anyone I have ever known.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
You are a Queen. Let mine be the joy of giving you your kingdom.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
In the woods where snow is thick, bars of sunlight lay like pale fire.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
Oh, how quickly things changed! Why didn't happiness last for ever? For ever wasn't a bit too long.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
September is different from all other months. It is more magical. I feel the strange chemical change in the earth which produces mushrooms is the cause, too, of the extra 'life' in the air - a resilience, a sparkle.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
What happiness it is to listen to rain at night joyful relief, ease a lapping-round and hushing and brooding tenderness, all are mingled together in the sound of the fast-falling rain. God, looking down upon the rainy earth, sees how faint are these lights shining in little windows, - how easily put out.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
I love the night. I love to feel the tide of darkness rising, slowly and slowly washing, turning over and over, lifting, floating, all that lies strewn upon the dark beach, all that lies hid in rocky hollows.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
Perhaps it does not matter so very much what it is one loves in this world. But love something one must.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
What is it with me? Am I absolutely nobody, but merely inordinately vain? I do not know…. But I am most fearfully unhappy. That is all. I am so unhappy that I wish I was dead—yet I should be mad to die when I have not yet lived at all.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
I think I hate snow, downright hate it. There is something stupefying in it, a kind of 'You must be worse before you're better,' and down it spins.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
That's all life is - something childish and very natural. Isn't it?
Katherine Mansfield
Image
There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
The mind I love must have wild places.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly, by a feeling of bliss - absolute bliss - as though you'd suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle into every finger and toe?
