Where Shall I Wander QUOTES

1 " It was all as it had been,
except for the weight of the present,
that scuttled the pact we made with heaven.
In truth there was no cause for rejoicing,
nor need to turn around, either.
We were lost just by standing,
listening to the hum of wires overhead. "

― John Ashbery , Where Shall I Wander

2 " You meant more than life to me. I lived through
you not knowing, not knowing I was living.

— John Ashbery, opening lines to “The New Higher,” Where Shall I Wander (HarperCollins, 2005) "
