Glorious. Torches, dizziness, singing. Wolves howling around us and a bull bellowing in the dark. The river ran white. It was like a film in fast motion, the moon waxing and waning, clouds rushing across the sky. Vines grew from the ground so fast they twined up the trees like snakes; seasons passing in the wink of an eye, entire years for all I know. . . . Mean we think of phenomenal change as being the very essence of time, when it's not at all. Time is something which defies spring and water, birth and decay, the good and the bad, indifferently. Something changeless and joyous and absolutely indestructible. Duality ceases to exist; there is no ego, no 'I,' and yet it's not at all like those horrid comparisons one sometimes hears in Eastern religions, the self being a drop of water swallowed by the ocean of the universe. It's more as if the universe expands to fill the boundaries of the self. You have no idea how pallid the workday boundaries of ordinary existence seem, after such an ecstasy.","author":"Donna Tartt","tags":["bacchanal","duality","ecstasy","henry-winter","madness","the-secret-history"],"id":56662,"author_id":"Donna+Tartt"},{"text":"This is the very ecstasy of love,Whose violent property fordoes itselfAnd leads the will to desperate undertakingsAs oft as any passion under heavenThat does afflict our natures.","author":"William Shakespeare","tags":["ecstasy","emotional-health","human-nature","love","passion"],"id":59700,"author_id":"William+Shakespeare"},{"text":"We want ecstasy as a way of life, not a liver-poisoning alcoholiday from it.","author":"CrimethInc.","tags":["alcohol","ecstasy","sobriety"],"id":60721,"author_id":"CrimethInc."},{"text":"He loves her because she is a fierce, wholly unexpected, electric storm, yet she is a constant, quiet, pure and utterly calm shelter from the cruel, cold world.
