Poetry Quote by Ally Condie — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Was [Sisyphus] from”

“Lightning. Once it has forked, hot-white, from sky to earth, there is no going back”

“Writing, painting, singing- it cannot stop everything. Cannot halt death in its tracks. But perhaps it can make the pause between death’s footsteps sound and look and feel beautiful, can make the space of waiting a place where you can linger without as much fear. For we are all walking each other to our deaths, and the journey there between footsteps makes up our lives.”

“Green was the silence, wet was the light,”

“Her close friends have gathered.”

“His vision, from the constantly passing bars,”

“and sometimes I sit”

“O happy things! no tongue”

“Higgledy piggledy, my black hen,”
