“What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth of ones bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury even ones head under the cover, giving ones self up to it completely, moaning like branches in the autumn wind. But there is still a better bed, full of divine odors. It is our sweet, our profound, our impenetrable friendship.”
—Marcel Proust (18711922)
“Certain branches cut
certain leaves fallen
the grapes
cooked and put up
for winter”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
