    EPIGRAPH: And the meteorite's just what causes the light And the meteor's how it's perceived And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void That lies quiet in offering to thee You came and lay a cold compress upon the mess I'm in Threw the window wide and cried, "Amen! Amen! Amen!"

    EPIGRAPH: My love, if you die and I don't - let's not give grief an even greater field. No expanse is greater than where we live. Dust in the wheat, sand in the deserts, time, wandering water, the vague wind swept us like sailing seeds. We might not have found one another in time. This meadow where we find ourselves, O little infinity! we give it back. But Love, this love has not ended: just as it never had a birth, it has no death: it is like a long river, only changing lands, and changing lips.
    FROM: Love Sonnets XVII, (1959), Poem, Chile
