i am still here, waiting for nothing, expecting everything

the stars have already witnessed my death

take me to the silent place and let us close our eyes.

together. alone. but your hand holds tightly to mine.

i will never let you go.

-- John Ruskin, from The Stone of Venice, 1853

[Text ID: You must either make a tool of the creature, or a man of him. You cannot make both. Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions. If you will have that precision out of them, and make their fingers measure degrees like cog-wheels, and their arms strike curves like compasses, you must unhumanize them. All the energy of their spirits must be given to make cogs and compasses of themselves.]

"For a poem to be so easily written,

when life is so difficult,

“I’m sorry you couldn’t find me. I have been in the woods. I put myself there because I couldn’t be good. I have been running with foxes and running with crows and I have found myself a home where no one goes.”
