Holy Cattle: Wendell Berry’s ‘Remembering that it happened once’
Over at Poetry for life we’re reading (and I’m memorizing) Wendell Berry’s “Remembering that it happened once,” a Christmas poem. Here’s my holiday poem about cattle.

quote
“Lucy, I married you because you were filled with joy. You were just filled with joy. And when I finally realized what you came from—when we went to your house that day to meet your family and tell them we were getting married, Lucy, I almost died at what you came from. I had no idea that was what you came from. And I kept thinking, But how is she what she is? How could she come from this and have so much exuberance?” He shook his head very slowly. “And I still don’t know how you did it. You’re unique, Lucy. You’re a spirit. You know how the other day at that barracks when you thought you were flipping between universes or something, well, I believe you, Lucy, because you are a spirit. There has never been anyone in the world like you.” In a moment he added, “You steal people’s hearts, Lucy.”

A little bit, this disappointed my admittedly high expectations. It is the fifth book I have read by this author and was everything I have come to expect from her, but it was also lacking in some ways. What I am saying is that it bears the " Read more of this review » |

“I am an author, and I, for one, am deeply offended by the notion that my "waywardness, peevishness, Irascibility, misanthropy, and murky passions" are caused by a "derangement of bodily health," even as I am impressed by a nineteenth-century magazine's ability to absolutely nail my personality.”

“Tea was more than boiling water. There were decisions to be made and a frame of mind to develop, no matter how imperceptible.”

“He harbored a hidden inclination toward poetry but in the hard boiled world of adjusting, reading a sonnet seemed like something that could get a guy killed. It was perfect, Ben had told him. Like a book with a compartment cut out of the pages to hide a flask of whiskey, this one also let a guy hide a secret vice: the cover was bound upside down. So he could read the book, and if anyone saw him, it would look like he was posing.
Plausible deniability.”
