Mary Oliver citáty a výroky

„(V mojom spánku sa mi snívalo o tejto básni)

Niekto, koho som milovala, mi raz dal
krabicu plnú tmy.

Trvalo mi roky, kým som pochopila,
že aj to bol dar.“

„Bola som obklopená krásnym plačom
z myšlienok Boha, jeden z nich si bol ty.“

take a train or an airplane
across the world, leave

die and be born again~
wherever you arrive
they'll be there first,

glossy and rowdy
and indistinguishable.
The deep muscle of the world.”

in our busyness.
We’re, as the saying goes, all over the place.

is more about dogs than about us.
One of the reasons we love them so much.”

and never once mentioned forever

from, One or Two Things”
