Additional quotes by Louise Glück

What will you do,
when it is your turn in the field with the god?

He takes her in his arms
He wants to say I love you, nothing can hurt you
But he thinks
this is a lie, so he says in the end
You're dead, nothing can hurt you
which seems to him
a more promising beginning, more true.

Look at us, she said. We are all of us in this room
still waiting to be transformed. This is why we search for love.
