| Quotation | Kenneth Patchen's "For losing her love all would I profan" struck me with great force and after a moment I realized that for me (perhaps not for him) it simply echoes St. John of the Cross' Por toda la hermosura nunca yo me perdere [for all the beauty in the world never will I lose myself]. |
