"Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash" - Leonard Cohen 9/21/1934 - 11/7/2016
"There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream. It is not now as it hath been of yore; - Turn whereso'er I may, By night or day, The things which I have seen I now can see no more - William Wordsworth, Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood (1807)
"I am only a pencil in the hand of God, but it is He who writes..." - St. Teresa of Calcutta.
