Stanzas Quotes

“I pulled you from the water
And kept you in my bed.
A lost, forsaken daughter
Of a past that isn’t dead.

Somehow love from sweet obsession
Branched and broke a heart of stone.
Distrust became confession,
Solemn vows of blood and bone.

But in the wind, I hear the strain,
Pilgrim soul that time has found.
It moans to whisk you back again.
Bid me follow, sweetly drown.

Don’t go near the water, love.
Stay away from strand or sea.
You cannot walk on water, love.
The lough will take you far from me.”
― Amy Harmon, What the Wind Knows

“You think it’s a game?
Unintelligible? Ha!
Envision no spoons.

This is serious.
It is a matter of joy
versus emptiness.”
― Kristen Henderson, Of My Maiden Smoking
