We’ll learn that sleeping is not death,
Hearing the whole earth change its tune.” “At the Galway Races,” WB Yeats

“Love, it don’t die;
it just goes from girl to girl,
Town to town, rose to rose
All around the world
Like a ghost upon a breeze
In a land of elegies.” “Black Rain, Black Rain,” AA Bondy

“if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.” “If You Forget Me,” Pablo Neruda
