"Reading these a few at a time—they take some chewing on! Favorites so far have been “Supposed Confessions of a Second-rate Sensitive Mind” (gorgeous “wrestling with God” poem in the midst of grief and turmoil) and “Mariana” (deliciously eerie, and with some early hints of ideas later explored more fully in “The Lady of Shalott”)." — Apr 09, 2025 07:19PM

Love this imagery!
“What you feel about another person, what you think or say about another person, what you do to another person – you do to you. Give judgment and criticism and you give it to yourself. Give love and appreciation to another person or anything, and you give it to yourself.”
