Caribou Quotes

“Arrange your unutterable alphabet, my man, / and hold tight. / It's all you've got, a naming of things, and not so beautiful.”
― Charles Wright, Caribou: Poems

“THINGS HAVE ENDS AND BEGINNINGS” Cloud mountains rise over mountain range. Silence and quietness,                             sky bright as water, sky bright as lake water. Grace is the instinct for knowing when to stop. And where.”
― Charles Wright, Caribou: Poems

“Waterfalls"

Is it age, is it lack of adoration, is it
Regret there’s no ladder to the clouds?
Whatever, we inhabit the quotidian, as we must,
While somewhere behind our backs,
                                                     waterfalls tumble and keep on going
Into the deep desire of distance.”
― Charles Wright, Caribou: Poems
