It is hard to say it  (W S Merwin Quotes) Come back believer in shade believer in silence and elegance believer in ferns believer in patience believer in the rain  (W S Merwin Quotes) I’m very pessimistic about the future of the human species. We have been so indifferent to life on the whole that it will take its toll.

Everything I do is stitched with its color  (W S Merwin Quotes) Certain words now in our knowledge we will not use again, and we will never forget them. We need them. Like the back of the picture  (W S Merwin Quotes) We are not born to survive. Only to live  (W S Merwin Quotes) I needed my mistakes in their order to get me here  (W S Merwin Quotes) We are the echo of the future  (W S Merwin Quotes) From what we cannot hold, the stars are made  (W S Merwin Quotes) Your absence has gone through me  (W S Merwin Quotes) Poetry is a way of looking at the world for the first time  (W S Merwin Quotes) The story of each stone leads back to a mountain  (W S Merwin Quotes) My cradle was a shoe  (W S Merwin Quotes) We are asleep with compasses in our hands  (W S Merwin Quotes) Now all my teachers are dead except silence  (W S Merwin Quotes) I have with me all that I do not know. I have lost none of it  (W S Merwin Quotes) Part memory part distance remaining mine in the ways that I learn to miss you  (W S Merwin Quotes) Poetry is like making a joke. If you get one word wrong at the end of a joke, you’ve lost the whole thing  (W S Merwin Quotes) We travel far and fast and as we pass through we forget where we have been  (W S Merwin Quotes)
