sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”

“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”

“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
