Favorite Quote:
The vastest things are those we may not learn.<br /> We are not taught to die, nor to be born,<br /> Nor how to burn<br /> With love.<br /> How pitiful is our enforced return<br /> To those small things we are the masters of.<br /> --Mervyn Peake

Were I but for you Persephone,
then you would find me
willingly gathering those wood violets
to give you some occasion in the taking
