The Silence Now: New and Uncollected Early Poems QUOTES

1 " Let silence in.
She will rarely speak or mew,
She will sleep on my bed
And all I have ever been
Either false or true
Will live again in my head.

For it is now or not
As old age silts the stream,
To shove away the clutter,
To untie every knot,
To take the time to dream,
To come back to still water. "

― May Sarton , The Silence Now: New and Uncollected Early Poems
