The Gate

Goodness me, I've forgotten so many!


I exist as I am, that is enough
-Walt Whitman


So I love you because I know no other way
-Pablo Neruda


Our best yesterdays are now foul crumpled piles of names
-Vladimir Nabokov


So much of adolescence is an ill-defined dying, an intolerable waiting, a longing for another place and time, another condition
-Theodore Roethke


By daily dying I have come to be
-Theodore Roethke


I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
-Theodore Roethke


I love sleep. My life has a tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?
-Ernest Hemingway


Perhaps this will be all for now.
I'd add a Ginsberg quote if I could,
but they are all to damn good and too damn long
to put here. 


Also, check out "Words Made Flesh",
it's a site full of literary tattoos,
they are all very lovely.
