Mark Strand Quotes

There is no end to what we can learn. The book out thereTells us as much, and was never written with us in mind.

It came to my house.It sat on my shoulders.Your shadow is yours. I told it so. I said it was yours.I have carried it with me too long. I give it back.

When we walk in the sunour shadows are like barges of silence.

In a fieldI am the absenceof field.This isalways the case.Wherever I amI am what is missing.

Even this late it happens:the coming of love, the coming of light.

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.There is no happiness like mine.I have been eating poetry.
