“Say “Yessum” to the ladies, an’ “Yessur” to the men,

Jes ‘fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!”

“My dear, it was a moment
to clutch at for a moment
so that you may believe in it
and believing is the act of love, I think,
even in the telling, wherever it went.”

“The time of the seasons and the constellations
The time of milking and the time of harvest
The time of the coupling of man and woman
And that of beasts. Feet rising and falling.
Eating and drinking. Dung and death.”
