“I spent the day walking about the tortured streets of Berlin – a torture pacified by the milk white of snowdrifts that covered all her splintered bones and shattered walls”

“A poem, he said, only exists while it’s on the writing desk; by the time its ink has dried, it should be recognized as just a scrap of paper.”

“Eliot’s theory of the objective correlative: that the description of particular objects will evoke in us corresponding emotions.”

Murray Pura
“Now it was dark as coal. The forest rang with sounds. Hoot owls called back and forth. There was a quick cry from some sort of creature. Merck heard rustling, but he knew the rustling wasn’t human. He could have sworn he heard a catamount screech. It was far away and up high. Once, and only once, a coyote yipped, then sang its shrill tune for half a minute. None of his kith and kin joined in. Merck watched, his eyes perfectly adjusted to the night. He could see the horse wandering around by Thad’s grave. There was a thin trickle nearby and the horse discovered it. Faintly, Merck could hear it drink.”
Murray Pura, Under the Stones
