… desire is full
of endless distances.
— Robert Hass, from “Meditation at Lagunitas” (via proustitute)
Each moment is a place you’ve never been.
— Mark Strand (via crashinglybeautiful)
You darkness, that I come from,
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes
a circle of light for everyone,
and then no one outside learns of you.
But the darkness pulls in everything:
shapes and fires, animals and myself,
how easily it gathers them!—
powers and people—
and it is possible a great energy
is moving near me.
I have faith in nights.
—Rainer Maria Rilke
