Poetry Quote by Mary Oliver — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I wanted the past to go away, I wanted”

“Look, the trees”

“When it over, I want to say:all my life”

“Another morning and I wake with thirst”

“Love Sorrow”

““Why I Wake Early”

“...but it is good to be several floors up in the dead of night wondering whether you are any good or not and the only decision you can make is that you did it...”

“If words allow themselves to be handled, it is with the help of infinite carefulness. One has to welcome them, listen to the, before asking any service of them. Words are living things closely involved with human life.”

“How heavy my mind is,”

“There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have words.”

“So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves”

“How to be a Poet”
