"How could (your body) be so delicious if not by virtue of the speech which it conceals?"

"Some people underestimate how erotic it is to be understood."

awritersruminations:

Accept what comes from silence.   
Make the best you can of it.   
Of the little words that come   
out of the silence, like prayers   
prayed back to the one who prays,   
make a poem that does not disturb   
the silence from which it came.

—Wendell Berry, from “How To Be a Poet”
