Quote by Stanley Kunitz

“In my darkest night, when the moon was covered and I roamed through wreckage, a nimbus-clouded voice directed me: "Live in the layers, not on the litter." Though I lack the art to decipher it, no doubt the next chapter in my book of transformations is already written. I am not done with my changes.”

Soft and cold, dark and unending, it beats against my eyelids, against the skin of my face.”
