Цитаты из книги Dream Work

I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it, like another country; I wanted my life to close, and open like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song where it falls down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery; I wanted to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know, whoever I was, I was

alive for a little while.

— from Dogfish

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

"Wild Geese"

Whatever power of the earth rampages, we turn to it dazed but anonymous eyes: whatever the name of the catastrophe, it is never the opposite of love.

"Shadows"
