I had thought no night can leave a scar which the sunrise cannot pierce
I know better this morning

I don’t want to be free I want to walk this cursed land with earthly feet
in all the wide world only God has made a series of accidents most harrowing

reduced from extraordinary state to the dusty nature of a sovereign hand

April 21: I understood
I understood how the soft lines of the night registers an oath
her very thoughts go into the hands of strangers
but not a word to another
there was a wilderness of passed hours, leaving traces of the present turned gently back like a winding sheet
the heart remarked in a confidential way—
I did not look for any specific thing; I only hoped to find all that there was

in a world which is one half shut from the light there is no aperture for apology
