The self persists like a dying star, In sleep, afraid.
Theodore Roethke Quotes
To know that light falls and fills, often without our knowing, As an opaque vase fills to the brim from quick pouring, Fills and trembles at the edge yet does not flow over, Still holding and feeding the stem of the contained flower.
