“11. I am inclined to say: I 'point' in different senses to this body, to its shape, to its colour, etc.--What does that mean?

― Julie Delpy, Before Sunrise & Before Sunset: Two Screenplays

“The poet is at the edge of our consciousness of the world, finding beyond the suspected nothingness which we imagine limits our perception another acre or so of being worth our venturing upon.”
