  • Quote

    It is a big world, full of things that steal your breath and fill your belly with fire...But where you go when you leave isn't as important as where you go when you come home.

  • Quote

    That was the first growth,the heir of all my minutes,the victim of every ramification-more and more it grew green, and gave too much shelter.And now at my homecoming,the barked elms stand up like sticks along the street.I am a foot taller than when I left,and cannot see the dirt at my feet.Yet sometimes I catch my vague mindcircling with a glazed eyefor a name without a face, or a face without a name,and at every step,I startle them. They start up,dog-eared, bald as baby birds.
