Additional quotes by Joanna Newsom

Wolf-spider, crouch in your funnel nest.
If I knew you, once,
now I know you less.
In the sinking sand,
where we've come to rest,
have I had a hand in your loneliness?

Driven through by her own sword,
summer died last night, alone.

We are blessed and sustained by what is not said
