and ever hold my breath,
till I may be the diver's wife.

Additional quotes by Joanna Newsom

But inasmuch as that light is loaned, insofar as we’ve borrowed bones, must every debt now be repaid in star-spotted, sickle-winged night raids

And though our bones, they may break
And our souls separate,
why the long face?
And though our bodies recoil
From the grip of the soil,
why the long face?

By the time you read this
I will be so far away
Daddy longlegs, how in the world
Am I to be expected to stay?

And never will I wed. I'll hunt the pearl of death to the bottom of my life, and ever hold my breath, till I may be the diver's wife. - Joanna Newsom
