Additional quotes by Derek Walcott
I do not live in you, I bear
my house inside me, everywhere
until your winters grow more kind
by the dancing firelight of mind
where knobs of brass do not exist
whose doors dissolve in tenderness
House that lets in, at last, those fears
that are its guests, to sit on chairs
feasts on their human faces, and
takes pity simply by the hand
shows her her room, and feels the hum
of wood and brick becoming home.
