A Wedding in Hell Quotes

“I like the silence between us,
The quiet–that holy state even the rain
Knows about. Listen to her begin to fall,
As if with eyes closed,
Muting each drop in her wild-beating heart.

— Charles Simic, closing lines to “This Morning,” A Wedding in Hell (Harcourt Brace & Co., 1994)”
