Additional quotes by Theodore Roethke

Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

I feel her presence in the common day,
In that slow dark that widens every eye.
She moves as water moves, and comes to me,
Stayed by what was, and pulled by what would be.

What's madness but nobility of soul
At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire! I know the purity of pure despair, my shadow pinned against a sweating wall, that place among the rocks — is it a cave, or winding path? The edge is what I have.
