• Toma de mis palmas, para aliviar tu corazón, un poco de miel, un poco de sol, en obediencia a las abejas de Perséfone. No se puede desatar una barca que nunca estuvo amarrada, ni oír una sombra en sus pieles, ni moverse por la espesa vida sin miedo. Para nosotros sólo quedan besos andrajosos como las abejitas que mueren al salir de la colmena. En lo profundo de la noche transparente siguen zumbando, en casa en el bosque oscuro de la montaña, en la menta y la pulmonaria y el pasado. Pero pon en tu corazón mi áspero regalo, este collar seco y sin amor de abejas muertas que una vez hicieron de la miel un sol.

  Osip Mandelstam

• I struggle with enormous discrepancies: between the reality of motherhood and the image of it, between my love for my home and the need to travel, between the varied and seductive paths of the heart. The lessons of impermanance, the occasional despair and the muse, so tenuously moored, all visit their needs upon me and I dig deeply for the spiritual utilities that restore me: my love for the place, for the one man left, for my children and friends and the great green pulse of spring.

• The coward wants resolution, which the brave man can do without. He recognizes no faith above a creed, thinking this straw by which he is moored does him good service, because his sheet anchor does not drag.

• Sleep is not, death is not; Who seem to die Live. House you were born in, Friends of your spring-time, old man and young maid, Day's toil and it's guerdon, They are all vanishing, Fleeing to fables, Cannot be moored
