"Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry."
— Mark Strand (Reasons for Moving)

"No voice comes from outer space, from the folds of dust and carpets of wind to tell us that this is the way it was meant to happen, that if only we knew how long the ruins would last we would never complain."
— Mark Strand (Blizzard of One: Poems)
