Цитаты из книги Devotions

I’d been to the river before, a few times.Don’t blame the river that nothing happened quickly.You don’t hear such voices in an hour or a day.You don’t hear them at all if selfhood has stuffed your ears.And it’s difficult to hear anything anyway, throughall the traffic, and ambition.

This is how it has been, and this is how it is:All my life I have been able to feel happiness,except whatever was not happiness,which I also remember.
