Citaten

  • mciteerde uit2 jaar geleden
    if the bees know that otherwise death

    is everywhere, even in the red swamp

    of a flower. But they did this

    with no small amount of desperation—you might say: love
  • .citeerde uitvorig jaar
    so I thought:

    maybe death

    isn’t darkness, after all,

    but so much light

    wrapping itself around us—

    as soft as feathers—

    that we are instantly weary

    of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes,

    not without amazement,

    and let ourselves be carried,

    as through the translucence of mica,

    to the river

    that is without the least dapple or shadow—

    that is nothing but light—scalding, aortal light—

    in which we are washed and washed

    out of our bones.
  • .citeerde uitvorig jaar
    I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing—

    that the light is everything—that it is more than the sum

    of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do.
