Magic (a poem)
What is magic?
Magic is
That electric anticipation of a kiss:
The parting of lips,
The flow of breath,
Heartbeats accelerating
Into interweaving rhythm.
It is that touch of a father’s hand
To his son’s shoulder,
Wise eyes on the horizon,
Patiently silent through the younger man’s sobs.
It is dawn,
Exploding through the clouds
In colors never seen,
Drawing song from feathery throats
And delivering myriad minds aw Read more of this blog post »

| I really wanted to give this book 4 stars, because of the *gorgeous* writing. The imagery. The pure poetry of her language. But the story just didn't seem to go anywhere. I realize that might be more a reflection of my mood at the time than the actua ...more | |

“Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don't open the door of your
study
and begin reading. Take down a musical
instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss
the ground.”

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

“I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.”
