“What does the E stand for?

Everything
Each eye exists embracing exceptional emerald evenings
Evolution explains Eden's evil
Earth's ecology equates exploitation evaporation
Errors ending evergreen elms
Escort elephants eagles elks eastward
Enlightenment echoes Ezra Ezekiel
Enlist Esther Eugene Ethan Edward Ellington
Enough English explanations ecco
Exit eternity
Elucidate Ethelbert elucidate
E evokes every ecstatic emotion

1/21/02”
E. Ethelbert Miller, How We Sleep on the Nights We Don't Make Love

Mary Karr
“But just his prescence that night flooded me with an odd sense: I done something wrong and here's the sheriff. If I had, that night, possessed a voice, or if anyone nearby felt like listening, that's what I might have said. But when you're a kid and something big is going on, you might as well be furniture for all anybody says to you.”
Mary Karr, The Liars' Club

George Seferis
“Old friend, what are you looking for?
After those many years abroad you come
With images you tended
Under foreign skies
far away from your own land.”
George Seferis

“There's no way back believe me.
I'm writing you from there.”
Jorie Graham

Leslie Garrett
“What upset Helen further still was her fear that she had no original ideas. She worried that everything in her mind had been put there by someone else- that she was incapable of forming her own thoughts and ideas. Even after all she was known around the world for her accomplishments, the "Frost King" incident sometimes nagged at her mind and heart. In her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Helen wrote, "I have ever since been tortured by the fear that what I write is not my own.”
Leslie Garrett, Helen Keller: A photographic story of a life
