inspiration en masse.

picture credit: http://vladimirborowicz.deviantart.com/art/A-kind-of-blue-55053557



Any fresh entry will do,
any form
any style.
That includes prose, rhyme, free-verse, etc.
Any subject matter is fine,
although I am not partial to cliche teen angst.
Multiple writes accepted, if you feel the need.
I want many entries.



QUOTES FROM LITERATURE

"Ordinary people waited till life disclosed to them its secrets, but to the few, to the elect, the mysteries of life were revealed before the veil was drawn away." --The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

"There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one specatcle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul." --Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

"Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all." --East of Eden by John Steinbeck

        it's the words 'spectacle' and 'grander' and that he compares/links the interior of the soul as being bigger than the sky

        it's really egotistical in my opinion
