“literature will lose, sunlight will win, don't worry.”
Franz Wright“If only I could tell someone.The humiliation I go throughwhen I think of my pastcan only be described as grace.We are created by being destroyed.”
Franz Wright“literature will lose, sunlight will win, don't worry.”
Franz Wright, God's Silence“And let me ask you this: the dead, where aren't they?”
Franz Wright, God's Silence“I basked in you;I loved you, helplessly, with a boundless tongue-tied love.And death doesn't prevent me from loving you.Besides, in my opinion you aren't dead.(I know dead people, and you are not dead.)”
Franz Wright, Walking to Martha's Vineyard
