“It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight.”
― The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories
― The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories
“You don’t want to hear the story
of my life, and anyway
I don’t want to tell it, I want to listen
to the enormous waterfalls of the sun.
And anyway it’s the same old story - - -
a few people just trying,
one way or another,
to survive.
Mostly, I want to be kind.
And nobody, of course, is kind,
or mean,
for a simple reason.
And nobody gets out of it, having to
swim through the fires to stay in
this world.
(from, Dogfish)”
