“We look to the East for a wisdom that we shall not use - and to the sleeper for the secret that we shall not find. So, I say, what of the night, the terrible night? The darkness is the closet in which your lover roosts her heart, and that night-fowl that caws against her spirit and yours, dropping between you and her the awful estrangement of his bowels. The drip of your tears in his implacable pulse. Night people do not bury their dead, but on the neck of you, their beloved and waking, sling the creature, husked of its gestures. And where you go, it goes, the two of you, your living and her dead, that will not die; to daylight, to life, to grief, until both are carrion.”

“I don’t sleep I am friends with time who passes by in front of my open eyes The clock can go for a long time, to my surprise I am familiar with the dark yet light blue of the sky at dawn I lay there in my bed, waiting, wishing, for the sweet release but it doesn’t come Everyone is asleep and I hear every breath and every snore It can be a very interesting thing or such a bore I don’t sleep”
