Zdroj: The Poet and the Donkey: A Novel

Is not all exaltation, inner space
Where the soul breathes and work can be done.
Solitude exposes the nerve,
Raises up ghosts.
The past, never at rest, flows through it.”

Zdroj: Journal of a Solitude

“In the middle of the night, things well up from the past that are not always cause for rejoicing--the unsolved, the painful encounters, the mistakes, the reasons for shame or woe. But all, good or bad, give me food for thought, food to grow on.”

Where the will triumphed let there be no will,
What light revealed, now let the dark fulfill.”
