“Wish For A Young Wife

My lizard, my lively writher
May your limbs never wither
May the eyes in your face
Survive the green ice
Of envy's mean gaze;

May you live out your life
Without hate, without grief,
And your hair ever blaze,
In the sun, in the sun,
When I am undone,
When I am no one.”
― Theodore Roethke

“Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.”
― Albert Einstein

“The Surly One

1
When true love broke my heart in half,
I took the whisky from the shelf,
And told my neighbors when to laugh.
I keep a dog, and bark myself.

2
Ghost cries out to ghost –
But who’s afraid of that?
I fear those shadows most
That start from my own feet.”
― Theodore Roethke

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus
