Finding My Elegy Quotes

“Offering

I made a poem going
to sleep last night, woke
in sunlight, it was clean forgotten.

If it was any good, gods
of the great darkness
where sleep goes and farther
death goes, you not named,
then as true offering
accept it.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Finding My Elegy: New and Selected Poems 1960-2010

“I run no more; the winds dance me.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Finding My Elegy: New and Selected Poems 1960-2010

“We work with water, with the wind, / we make and hold no thing at all. / All we can ever shape or sing / the tremor of an untouched string, / a shift of shadows on the wall.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Finding My Elegy: New and Selected Poems 1960-2010
