The Unseeable


"I want to make poems while thinking of
the bread of heaven and the
cup of astonishment; let them be

songs in which nothing is neglected,
not a hope, not a promise. I want to make poems
that look into the earth and the heavens
and see the unseeable."

Words by Mary Oliver from "Everything"
in "
New and Selected Poems"
