May memory restore again and again
The smallest color of the smallest day:
Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn. – Delmore Schwartz
Love is the most difficult and dangerous form of courage. Courage is the most desperate, admirable and noble kind of love. – Delmore Schwartz
Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn. – Delmore Schwartz
