still waiting to be transformed. This is why we search for love.

Additional quotes by Louise Glück
جُرحتُ، منذ زمن بعيد.
وعشتُ لكي أثأر لنفسي
من والدي، ليس
بسبب ما كان عليه،
بل بسبب ما أنا عليه: منذ بدء الزمن
أيّام الطفولة، فكّرتُ
أنّ الألم يعني
أنني لم أكن محبوبة،
أنني كنتُ أحبّ.
We don't expect to know
what Persephone is doing.
She is dead, the dead are mysteries.
The master said <i>You must write what you see.</i>
But what I see does not move me.
The master answered <i>Change what you see.</i>
