Additional quotes by Louise Glück

this is the light of autumn; it has turned
on us.
Surely it is a privilege to approach the
end
still believing in something.

This silence is my companion now.
I ask: of what did my soul die?
and the silence answers

if your soul died, whose life
are you living and
when did you become that person?

And if you missed a day, there was always the next,
and if you missed a year, it didn't matter,
the hills weren't going anywhere,
the thyme and rosemary kept coming back,
the sun kept rising, the bushes kept bearing fruit–

Even before you touched me, I belonged to you; all you had to do was look at me. - Louise Glück
