I’d like one day someone new to make me supper.
I don’t want to feel marinated or married, but
yes, one flower—wild—worthy of a vase.

—Ellen Doré Watson, closing lines to “What Tess Wants,” from Dogged Hearts: Poems (Tupelo Press, 2010)

"We live in a world where there is more and more information, and less and less meaning."

“When you’re young, you think everything you do is disposable. You move from now to now, crumpling time up in your hands, tossing it away. You’re your own speeding car. You think you can get rid of things, and people too—leave them behind. You don’t yet know about the habit they have, of coming back.”

- Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin (via pavorst)

“The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”
