A feather of a hawk was bound
Bound around my neck
A poultice made of fig
The eager little vultures pecked

Additional quotes by Joanna Newsom

We could stand for a century
Staring, with our heads cocked
In the broad daylight at this thing
Joy
Landlocked
In bodies that don't keep
Dumbstruck with the sweetness of being
Until we don't be

Picking through your pocket lining, well what is this?
Scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?

We broke our hearts,
in the war between
St. George and the dragon,
but both, in equal part,
are welcome to come along.
I'm inviting everyone.
