Additional quotes by Denise Levertov

"I am, a shadow
that grows longer as the sun
moves, drawn out
on a thread of wonder.
If I bear burdens
they begin to be remembered
as gifts, goods, a basket
of bread that hurts
my shoulders but closes me
in fragrance. I can
eat as I go.

("Stepping Westward")"

To speak of sorrow
works upon it
moves it from its
crouched place barring
the way to and from the soul's hall.
