1 " Stone, steel, dominions pass,Faith too, no wonder;So leave alone the grassThat I am under. "
― A.E. Housman , More Poems
2 " I had a theory; I’m not sure if it was my own but it worked for me. Public spaces, such as streets and subway stations, became inhabitable as I assigned them some value and imprinted an experience on them. If I recited a snatch of Paterson every time I walked along a certain avenue, eventually that avenue would sound like William Carlos Williams. The entrance to the subway at 116th Street was Emily Dickinson’s:Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawnIndicative that suns go down;The notice to the startled grassThat darkness is about to pass. "
3 " If you Surrender to temptation thenweak is your soul, for you like grassthat alows the wind to be its " controlfreak" . A strong soul knows what itwants and adheres to its principles likea tree that stands still despite thecondition. "
