Openings Quotes

“But I would have a darkness
in my mind like the dark
the dead calf makes for a time
on the grass where he lies, and will make
in the earth as he is carried down.
May all dead things lie down in me
and be at peace, as in the ground.”
― Wendell Berry, Openings: Poems

“—a place where thought can take its shape as quietly in the mind as water in a pitcher...”
― Wendell Berry, Openings: Poems
