“It is true there is not enough beauty in the world.
It is also true that I am not competent to restore it.
Neither is there candor, and here I may be of some use.”
– Louise Glück, from “October”

oh, i like this. i don’t know a thing about pretty, but yes, candor i can do.
I absolutely adore Louise Glück. I found her first via The Wild Iris and have loved everything she’s done since.
She’s one of my favourites, Sheenagh.
“The unsaid, for me, exerts great power …”
