“The future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be, I think. It’s an extraordinary declaration, asserting that the unknown need not be turned into the known through false divination or the projection of grim political or ideological narratives; it’s a celebration of darkness, willing – as that “I think” indicates—to be uncertain even about its own assertion.”

Rebecca Solnit, ‘Woolf’s Darkness: Embracing the Inexplicable’ from Men Explain Things to Me

“I am convinced the kind of experience—the kind of knowledge—one gets from poetry cannot be duplicated elsewhere. The spiritual life wants articulation—it wants embodiment in language.”

— Edward Hirsch, from The Immense Intimacy, the Intimate Immensity (Poetry Foundation)

“Her body had become all mist. Only her eyes gleamed, changed, lived all by themselves, it seemed; eyes without a body; eyes seeing something invisible.”
