“Time! Time that gives everything but itself, / Time that steals everything but the heart– / It caught in the throat / To see it light down all around us like a young girl’s dress, / And we were the mystery underneath it:”
— Denis Johnson, from “The Skewbald Horse“ The Veil: Poems (Alfred A. Knopf, 1987)
