Orpheus & Eurydice Quotes

“Look, they descend:
light, water,
all things
released
seek the earth...

All things go
downward.
Even the rocks
settle and sink,
even the flowers bow.”
― Gregory Orr, Orpheus & Eurydice: A Lyric Sequence

“If your gaze takes in
the world,
a person's a puny thing.

If a person is all you see,
the rest falls away
and she becomes the world.”
― Gregory Orr, Orpheus & Eurydice: A Lyric Sequence
