Additional quotes by Theodore Roethke

Loved heart, what can I say?
When I was a lark, I sang;
When I was a worm, I devoured.

The self says, I am;
The heart says, I am less;
The spirit says, you are nothing.

My father is a fish.

Nothing would give up life:
Even the dirt kept breathing a small breath.
