“Maybe she loved me, maybe not – who knows? Not even the gods can see into a human heart – it’s that dark.” LoveHeartDarkness Author:Gregory Orr
“I can't actually explain why my lines got shorter, but they did. Just as I can't explain why my early poems were 'all image' and my current ones are relatively abstract. The sense of the line changed with the theme, somehow my ear (or brain or heart/mind) fell in love with a short line and very very simple words.” MindHeartI CanLinesSimpleBrainChangedEarsCurrentsAbstractThemeSimple Words Author:Gregory Orr
“D.H. Lawrence says that myths are "inexhaustible" because they are symbols of heart mysteries. That is, they can't be exhausted - they somehow have embodied some central human mystery (love, loss, being a body in time, who knows which or what?) and thus can be retold infinitely and still be rich. That's part of your saying: it's old, but it's also new. Or: there's nothing "new" in the human heart, but it still matters lots.” KnowsHumansHeartStillsMatterBodyLossRichMysteryMythSymbolsExhaustedHuman HeartNothing NewLove Loss Author:Gregory Orr
