“The Poem That Took The Place Of A Mountain”

“I do not know which to prefer,”

“One must read poetry with one's nerves.”

“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.”

“There will never be an end”

“I placed a jar in Tennessee and round it”

“Fascists always attack minorities,”

“I once broke up with a boy because he wrote me an awful poem.”

“What a shame it truly is— that some of us have lived our entire lives under the impression that the love we have been searching for was to be found, first and foremost, in anyone but ourselves.”

“Even the moon is only poetical because there is a man in the moon.”

“How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.”

“Look, the trees”
