“Lady, your beauty is like that drop of a volcano, that pierces hearts of all men, as if its passing through ice.”
“The sky is like a black sieve pierced by silver drops that tremble, ready to burst through.”
“For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
“Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron. Here is a book which will break your heart." [on Lord of the Rings]”
“Truth inevitably pierces its target, the hearts of men".~ R. Alan Woods [2012]”
“It's raining in my heart, like it's raining in the city. What is this sadness that pierces my heart?”
