I told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
Leonard CohenAs the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill
So my body leaves no scar
On you and never will
As I grew older, I understood that instructions came with this voice. What were these instructions? The instructions were never to lament casually. And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity and beauty.
Leonard CohenAt first first nothing will happen to us
and later on
it will happen to us again.
Blessed are you who circled desire with a blade, and the garden with fiery swords, and heaven and earth with a word.
Leonard CohenTags: poetry-quotes
Blessed is the covenant of love, the covenant of mercy, useless light behind the terror, deathless song in the house of night.

Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard CohenWhen you call me close
to tell me
your body is not beautiful
I want to summon
the eyes and hidden mouths
of stone and light and water
to testify against you.

So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed
it would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far.
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star

I dreamed about you baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah, but some of you was light.
