I go where I love and where I am loved
From a beautiful, old, original edition book of Adrianne Rich poems I found at a beach bookstore on the Oregon coast this weekend, comes this right off, as the title page is turned:
I go where I love and where I am loved, into the snow;
-H. D., The Flowering of the Rod
I go to the things I love with no thought of duty or pity
Marriage – unfathomable depth
“…this welcome. Who else could love him so knowingly, with such warmth and teasing humour, or accumulate so rich a past with him? In one lifetime it wouldn’t be possible to find another woman with whom he can learn to be so free, with whom [to be] with such abandon.”
McEwan, Saturday, p. 40-41
