“Once i spoke the language of the flowers,Once i undrestand each word the caterpillar said,Once i smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,”
“My father once asked me if I knew where yonder was. I said I thought yonder was another word for there. He smiled and said, "No, yonder is between here and there.”
“Once in a golden hour I cast to earth a seed. Up there came a flower, The people said, a weed.”
“I am dead to them, even though I once flowered.”
“These handwritten words in the pages of my journal confirm that from an early age I have experienced each encounter in my life twice: once in the world, and once again on the page.”
“I once knew a man who said death smiles at us all,A man can only smile back”
