“May our afflictions be few, but may we learn not to squander them.”
Scott Cairns, The End of Suffering: Finding Purpose in Pain

“I turned and beheld seven rows of plasma screens, each bearing seven vivid scenes, each flickering, each pulsing with a light revealing distant terrors, conflagrations, sufferings - and all thereby brought so close, and all thereby kept far away.”
Scott Cairns, Compass of Affection: Poems New and Selected

“He gains the farthest reaches where the ache of our most ancient absence lay.”
Scott Cairns, Compass of Affection: Poems New and Selected
