“You said, Unless there is some spark, some
spirit we keep within ourselves, life, a
continuing life’s impossible—and it is all
we have. There is no other life, only the one.”

deepest plunge we brought branches

“It is dangerous to leave written that which is badly written. A chance word, upon paper, may destroy the world. Watch carefully and erase, while the power is still yours, I say to myself, for all that is put down, once it escapes, may rot its way into a thousand minds, the corn become a black smut, and all libraries, of necessity, be burned to the ground as a consequence. Only one answer: write carelessly so that nothing that is not green will survive.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
