One who asks about things – about their dimensions,
weight, location, moods, names, holiness, smell – is
an historian. But the asking is not idle. It is when you
are asking about something that you realize that you
yourself have survived it, and so you must carry it, or
fashion it into a thing that carries itself.

 
                                                                                                                  (Anne Carson, Nox)

It hurts, this wanting to give a dimension
To life, when life is precisely that dimension.
We are creatures, therefore we walk and talk
And people come up to us, or listen
And then move away.

                                                                    (John Ashbery, “Vaucason,” April Galleons)
