From Mary Oliver’s Upstream:
“And whoever thinks these words are worthy, breathy words I am writing down is kind. Writing is neither vibrant lie nor docile artifact bur a test that would upt all its money on the hope of suggestion. Come with me into the field of sunflowers is a better line than any of you will find here, and the sunflowers themselves far more wonderful than any words about them.”
Indeed. I’ll stop there and go look for some sunflowers.
