“We were expelled from Paradise, but Paradise was not destroyed. In a sense our expulsion from Paradise was a stroke of luck, for had we not been expelled, Paradise would have had to be destroyed.”

- Franz Kafka, Paradise

“Cranes roost atop the power lines
in huge bowl-shaped nests of sticks and twigs,
and when a sergeant shoots one from the highway
it pauses, as if amazed that death has found it
here, at 7:00 A.M. on such a beautiful morning,
before pitching over the side and falling
in a slow unraveling of feathers and wings.”

- Brian Turner, From “Hwy 1”

“           [The future] is a tango. It is a waterfall between

two countries, the river that tried to drown you.
            It is a city where men speak a language

you can fake if you must. It’s the hands of children
            thieving your empty pockets. It’s bicycles

with bells ringing through the streets at midnight.
            Come up from the basement. It’s not over.”

- Traci Brimhall, from “Through a Glass Darkly” (via weissewiese)

“Put your mouthful of words away
and come with me to watch
the lilies open in such a field,
growing there like yachts,
slowly steering their petals
without nurses or clocks.
Let us consider the view.”

- Anne Sexton, from “From the Garden” (via weissewiese)
