Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones.

We Do Not Outgrow Our Own Sadnesses
WE DO NOT OUTGROW OUR OWN SADNESSES
We do not outgrow our own Sadnesses
We remain lost in them.
No matter how far
We wander from home-
Life is not easy
And we wherever we are
Suffer the sadnesses
We have borne as ourselves
From the beginning.
How we get by
How we manage to get through the world
A mystery each answers in his own way-
Blessedness- or not.

Christmas Day
The christmas spirit grows with each new day
And its so close but seems so far away
And yet it comes only once a year
And fore you know it, its already here
The streets are filled with laughter
And so many hearts are gay
Everybody helps to make the spirit bright
The houses turn on their christmas lights at night
Its worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you
And Ill never outgrow the thrill of christmas day
Its worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you
And Ill never outgrow the thrill of christmas day
Its worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you

About Us
there are rains
on the days of our lives
and we try to grow flowers
on our fertile grounds
the weeds are there
but they never outgrow
what good seeds
we have put there

You Are My Love
I pity you as long as
You do not outgrow me.
I love you as long as
You do not compete with me.

The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.

I know lives, I could miss
I know lives, I could miss
Without a Misery—
Others—whose instant's wanting—
Would be Eternity—
The last—a scanty Number—
'Twould scarcely fill a Two—
The first—a Gnat's Horizon
Could easily outgrow—

We outgrow love, like other things
And put it in the Drawer—
Till it an Antique fashion shows—
Like Costumes Grandsires wore.

The Branch, The Stem and The Shoots
When parents shine better than me
And when sons shine better than me
I don't feel sore. I am not at ease
When brothers outshine or outgrow.
A branch contacts its stem and shoots
And differs from other branches.

A scientist is in a sense a learned small boy. There is something of the scientist in every small boy. Others must outgrow it. Scientists can stay that way all their lives.

There is the possibility that humankind can outgrow its infantile tendencies, as I suggested in Childhood's End. But it is amazing how childishly gullible humans are. There are, for example, so many different religions — each of them claiming to have the truth, each saying that their truths are clearly superior to the truths of others — how can someone possibly take any of them seriously? I mean, that's insane...

Midsummer, Tobago
Broad sun-stoned beaches.
White heat.
A green river.
A bridge,
scorched yellow palms
from the summer-sleeping house
drowsing through August.
Days I have held,
days I have lost,
days that outgrow, like daughters,
my harbouring arms.
