from The Sensual World
I was not prepared: sunset, the end of summer. Demonstrations
of time as a continuum, as something coming to an end,
not a suspension; the senses wouldn't protect me.
I caution you as I was never cautioned:
you will never let go, you will never be satisfied.
You will be damaged and scarred, you will continue to hunger.
Your body will age, you will continue to need.
You will want the earth, then more of the earth –
Sublime, indifferent, it is present, it will not respond.
It is encompassing, it will not minister.
– Louise Glück (2001)
