Black Zodiac Quotes

“It’s good to know certain things:
What’s departed, in order to know what’s left to come;
That water’s immeasurable and incomprehensible
And blows in the air
Where all that’s fallen and silent becomes invisible;
That fire’s the light our names are carved in.

That shame is a garment of sorrow;
That time is the Adversary, and stays sleepless and wants for nothing;
That clouds are unequal and words are.”
― Charles Wright, Black Zodiac

“Meanwhile, the mole goes on with its subterranean daydreams,
The dogs lie around like rugs”
― Charles Wright, Black Zodiac

“Out of any two thoughts I have, one is devoted to death.”
― Charles Wright, Black Zodiac
