“Your name untied every knot in my body,”
— Yusef Komunyakaa, Pleasure Dome; “Providence”
Charles Dickens, from “Great Expectations”

created by the mind.
As the universe expands
with the ultimate freedom,
reality simply unfolds.

in this infinite place
called present.
The only place
where we are real.

— Clarice Lispector, from “The Stream of Life.”
That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
