“it is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world.”

“In a world myriad as ours, the gaze is a singular act: to look at something is to fill your whole life with it, if only briefly.”

“How I go to the wood
Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single
friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore
unsuitable.
I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of
praying, as you no doubt have yours.
Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit
on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds,
until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost
unhearable sound of the roses singing.
If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love
you very much.”
― Swan: Poems and Prose Poems

“Природата е много хубава по туй време. Балканът. Гората е толкоз зелена, полюшва ся едва-едва, шуми леко. Мирише на младост. И цяла е в светлина. Светлоструй… Не ми са обикаля с тая дружина. Ще ми ся ей тъй да тръгна из гората, из полетата, без цел и посока, да вървя туй от място на място – не че някъде определено отивам, ами ей така. Да ся скитам. Като някой циганьор дори. Иде ми да зарежа дружината , и револуцията, и ей така да тръгна да ся скитам из гората, да ся пека на камънаците като някой смок, да ся търкалям из тревите. Да пия от кладенците и като ся нагорещя, да си плискам лицето с вода от потоците. Да лежа тъй в тревата с разперени ръце и да гледам нагоре в небето. Без всякоя цел. Защо светът е хубав! Много хубав дори! Очарователна работа! Неизразима!”
