The Terror Of Ecstasy
Emily Dickinson
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
Robert Gordon Wasson
Ecstasy!
Robert Gordon Wasson
In common parlance ecstasy is fun.
Robert Gordon Wasson
But ecstasy is not fun.
Robert Gordon Wasson
Your very soul is seized and shaken until it tingles.
Ernest Becker
To live fully is to live with an awareness of the rumble of terror that underlies everything.
Dylan Thomas
I think, that if I touched the earth, It would crumble;
Dylan Thomas
It is so sad and beautiful,
Dylan Thomas
So tremulously like a dream.
Alexander Shulgin
How long will this last,
Alexander Shulgin
this delicious feeling of being alive,
Alexander Shulgin
of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas
Anna Akhmatova
Sunset in the ethereal waves:
Anna Akhmatova
I cannot tell if the day has ended,
Anna Akhmatova
or the world
Anna Akhmatova
Or if the secret of secret is inside me again.
