“APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding / Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing / Memory and desire, stirring / Dull roots with spring rain.”

— T. S. Eliot, from “The Wasteland,” in Selected Poems

consumarmi ancora/perché ti amo ancora

saw a woman comforting her sobbing child saying “i already told you, you have to keep looking forward, looking back just gets you hurt” and i thought she was sharing a beautiful life lesson about the importance of letting go of regret and resentment. but it turns out the kid just wasn’t looking where he was going and ran into a wall

the past is the past. leave it there. leave it there. LEAVE IT THERE.

Mary Oliver, from “To Begin With, the Sweet Grass”, Devotions
