—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When the
Marne flowed by the plants nodded
And above the glistering Gila
A sunset as beautiful as the Athabasca
Stammered. The Zambezi chimed. The Oxus
Flowed somewhere.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.”
