Quotes about fables, page 3

Programmed

miracle of genetics,
pooled by a heritage
fooled by the fables,
we live in a culture

nurtured by nature,
culled by a fate
spawned by a father,
born from a mother

flirt with Sol's
Promethean gift,
seek salvation
in knowledge and faith

A Story Teller’s Touch

as a folk song a fable or short story
all great life poems still echo haunt
with life themes of universal wisdom


Inspired by the poem ‘Half Drunk In Jesus Town’ by Eric Cockrell

Thomas Jefferson

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.

Why Pull The Blind?

reading can be a window
through which the mind sees
startling bright new images
comprehends amazing ideas

the gift of vibrant imagination
is another looking glass window
into morals fables ideals truth
so why tell children to pull the blind?

Alfred de Vigny

From this, without doubt, sprang the fable. Man created it thus, because it was not given him to see more than himself and nature, which surrounds him; but he created it true with a truth all its own.

Diamond Mine

earth salted in diamonds
is better than tears
for fame and for riches
many will dig deep
fabled treasures are lures
fools ever do seek

mining for precious hearts
carries through hard years
mining for precious true love
true wealth eventually it bears

Sun Down The Stars

On a August afternoon
written becomes
a fairly sad tale
of a certain lady
Lost from a dilemma
of a shocking experience
she has gone the distant
to create an epic fable
but not forgotten
for a sad lady

Clear Conscience

Bodily exercise,
Accaptance,
Thesethings i write to you will come to you shortly;
And like old wives' fables,
But delivered by the words of your mouth.

Stay pure until i come,
And be faithful in all things!
For, i come with my clear conscience to guide you on.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment; and even obstacles and opposition will but make us "like the fabled specter-ships," which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind.

Definitions That Evolve

As is now defined...
Time and our minds change.
So do definitions that evolve,
To erase and lift limited restrictions.

Leaving us to redefine meaning.
And why we exist,
To fable our lives lived...
With a fictitiousness.

The Cup of Mercy

The cup of Mercy is so small
Its drops are few
Too greedily
We thirst to drink them all

Mercy holds the well of life
As songs and fables claim
So humbly from this cup
We seek the source of nourishment

And we become the same
In Mercy lifted up
Our kindest acts of Love performed
Above this almost-empty cup.

The Stories Of This World

The stories of this world,
A fool becomes rich;
The hate of this world,
A wise man is killed;
An allegory,
And like the elements of this world.
The hidden things of honesty and dishonesty,
But are they writers? !
So am i also;
For the stories of this world are too many to write about.
Are they artists?
So am i;
Are they Core-Maths teachers?
So am i;
Are they philosophers?
So am i;
Are they travellers?
So am i;
Are they poets?
So am i;

The Coffee Song

By colton and smith
Theres a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station,
And theres a story, a kind of fable,
On a card at the corner table.
On it is a message; been there some time.
It starts off, the coffee tasted so fine...
It says, one day, this may find you,
These few words may just remind you.
We sat here together just to pass time;
You said how the coffee tasted so fine.
It goes on to say, I love you.
If you should find this I must hear from you.
It gives a number but the name has faded away.
All that is left are just the words, maybe someday...
Thats the story and the fable;
Never leave alone from a corner table.
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo.

Echoes Of Fallen Aeons

Our dreams are as real as we allow them to be,
Open up your heart to the world,
There's more to love than at first meets the eyes.
We must learn to hear the howling winds,
To here fables spoken upon them by the giants
For far of distant valleys, great murmurings from
Ancient caverns, echoes of fallen aeons.

Most Fables

fables told at the table,
or formed in a stable,
metaphorical stories
with a moral and point

that simile and simple are unable,
to tell or spin a spell
of narrative magic,
told straight and forward

full of animals and analogies
more falacious than true,
are told to construe that naive
and simple have another view

Joseph Conrad

There are men here and there to whom the whole of life is like an after-dinner hour with a cigar; easy, pleasant, empty, perhaps enlivened by some fable of strife to be forgotten - before the end is told - even if there happens to be any end to it.

Famous Fable

The famous fable,
The famous table,
The famous stable,
The famous cable,
The famous babble,
The famous gable,
The famous parable,
The famous variable
The famous sable;
But, able to crown your love with my muse!
For, you are all that i need.
