Wendell Berry Quotes

Late in the night I paythe unrest I ownto the life that has never livedand cannot live now. What the world could be is my good dream and my agony when, dreaming it, I lie awake and turnand look into the dark. I think of a luxury in the sturdiness and graceof necessary things, notin frivolity. That would heal the earth, and heal men. But the end, too, is partof the pattern, the last labor of the heart: to learn to lie still, one with the earth again, and let the world go.

Wendell Berry

It takes a few days for the transformation to be complete, depending on how much venom is in the bloodstream, how close the venom is to the heart.
