Time and the Tilting Earth Quotes

“Wherever it left us,
we were barely learning to live with it
when here came Flannery O'Connor and Hank Williams
to tell us that no one has ever been loved
the way everybody wants to be loved,
and that's hard. That's hard.

--last stanza of How Step by Step We Have Come to Understand”
― Miller Williams, Time and the Tilting Earth: Poems

“He lives all alone now, in the home they bought,
and finally seems to be managing, more or less.
Not the way he was, of course, with her,
who lives alone now, too, at the same address.

- Separatio in Loco”
― Miller Williams, Time and the Tilting Earth: Poems
