Jane Hirshfield Looks Quotations

Isn't the small and common the field we live our life in? The large comes into a life through small-paned windows. A breath is small, but everything depends on it. A person looks at you a single, brief moment longer than is necessary, and everything is changed. The smaller the clue, the larger the meaning, it sometimes feels.

A studio, like a poem, is an intimacy and a freedom you can look out from, into each part of your life and a little beyond.

Something looks back from the trees, and knows me for who I am.
