Notebook Quotes

“In the end, every hypochondriac is his own prophet.”
― Robert Lowell, Notebook

“For a week my heart has pointed elsewhere:
it brings us here tonight, and ties our hands–
if we leaned forward, and should dip a finger
into this river’s momentary black flow,
infinite small stars would break like fish.

from “The Charles River”
― Robert Lowell, Notebook
