“The textures of the world are an outline of the infinite. [Wallace] Steves said, or at least I seem to remember that he said, the thing seen becomes the thing unseen. He also said that the reverse way was impossible. [Theodore] Roethke wrote that all finite things reveal infinitude. What we have, and all we will have, is here in the earthly paradise. How to wring music from it, how to squeeze light out of it, is, as it has always been, the only true question. I’d say that to love the visible things in the visible world is to love their apokatastatic outline in the invisible next.”

Charles Wright, from an interview by J.D. McClatchy “The Art of Poetry XLI,” Quarter Notes: Improvisations and Interviews (University of Michigan Press, 1995)

Stop the car, turn off the engine, and stand in the silence above your life. See how the grass mirrors fire, how a wind rides up the hillside steadily toward you until it surges into your ears like breath coming and going, released from its bondage to blood or speech and denying nothing.
