Nicole Brossard Quotes

“at this late hour when memory is afraid of its leaps and the nerves in
the midst of desire are overwhelmed with responses, I know that all
has not been said, I know that light when it fractures shadow revives
my respect for shadow and for light, I know that the life that is mine,
overflowing into the air of energy, urges me to breathe up close into
my hand long images of necessity and, of emotion, beautiful breaches
in the background of dreaming and of identity
