“One loses, as one grows older, something of the lightness of one's dreams; one begins to take life up in both hands, and to care more for the fruit than the flower, and that is no great loss perhaps.”
― The Celtic Twilight: Faerie and Folklore

“The poet dreams of the classroom
I dreamed
I stood up in class
And I said aloud:
Teacher,
Why is algebra important?
Sit down, he said.
Then I dreamed
I stood up
And I said:
Teacher, I’m weary of the turkeys
That we have to draw every fall.
May I draw a fox instead?
Sit down, he said.
Then I dreamed
I stood up once more and said:
Teacher,
My heart is falling asleep
And it wants to wake up.
It needs to be outside.
Sit down, he said.”
― Swan: Poems and Prose Poems
