yet another Mary Oliver poem
Feb. 4th, 2019 06:43 pmone which I read days ago, but which has stuck with me, with cutting insistence, ever since:
The Old Poets of China
Wherever I am, the world comes after me.
It offers me its busyness. It does not believe
that I do not want it. Now I understand
why the old poets of China went so far and high
into the mountains, then crept into the pale mist.
