What would you like best, waking up in the sunlight with me, or for us to have the whole room suffused in glorious red in the evenings?
Tove Jansson, in a letter to Vivica Bandler, wr. c. January 1947

I recognize the business of summer, which is to forge ahead, delicately. So I dip my fingers among the green stems, delicately. I lounge at the edge of the leafing pond, delicately.
Mary Oliver, from "Crows"

Sometimes in late summer I won’t touch anything, not the flowers, not the blackberries brimming in the thickets; I won’t drink from the pond; I won’t name the birds or the trees; I won’t whisper my own name. One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me—and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.
Mary Oliver, "October"
