“You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
Mary Oliver, Wild Geese
“You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
Mary Oliver, Wild Geese
Meet me in Usk
And drone to me
Of what a beetle’s
Eye can see
When lamps are lit
And the bats flit
In Usk
At dusk.
And tell me if
A beetle’s nose
Detects the perfume
Of the rose
As gardens fade
And stars invade
The dusk
In Usk.
Emile Victor Rieu (1887-1972)
