“The imagination doesn't crop annually like a reliable fruit tree. The writer has to gather whatever's there: sometimes too much, sometimes too little, sometimes nothing at all. And in the years of glut there is always a slatted wooden tray in some cool, dark attic, which the writer nervously visits from time to time; and yes, oh dear, while he's been hard at work downstairs, up in the attic there are puckering skins, warning spots, a sudden brown collapse and the sprouting of snowflakes. What can he do about it?” WritingYearsLittlesSometimesHardImaginationDarkToo MuchTreeSkinsFruitDearSpotsBrownWarningCollapseCropsSnowflakeAtticsTraysFruit Trees Author:Julian Barnes

“Because we lack sharp claws, aren't very fast on our feet, and aren't exactly endowed with lightning reflexes, it would be very difficult if not impossible for us to run down an animal, catch it with our bare hands, and tear through its fur and skin in order to eat it. Biologically, we are designed to be frugivorous herbivores eating mainly fruits, seeds, roots, and leaves.” IfsHandsWould BeRunningOrderDifficultAnimalImpossibleFeetTearsEatingRootsSkinsFruitSeedsLightningFurClawsReflexes Author:Sharon Gannon

“She was considered timid and morose. Only in the country, her skin tanned by the sun and her belly full of ripe fruit, running through the fields with Pedro Tercero, was she smiling and happy.

“I thought I would love you forever—and, a little, I may, in the way I still move toward a crate, knees bent, or reach for a man: as one might stretch for the three or four fruit that lie in the sun at the top of the tree; too ripe for any moment but this, they open their skin at first touch, yielding sweetness, sweetness and heat, and in me, each time since, the answering yes.” MenWayFirstsMayLittlesStillsMomentsMightMovingLyingThreeSunForeverFourTreeLove YouSkinsFruitKneesHeatBentSweetnessRipeLove You Forever Author:Jane Hirshfield
