A clever woman is more lethal than a freshly crafted magic wand, and this is why she is feared. She is unpredictable, and unpredictable is another word for ‘threat’

"Do not let me hear Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly, Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession, Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God. The only wisdom we can hope to acquire Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless."

~ T. S. Eliot, Burnt Norton: "East Coker"

Come wilderness into our homes (excerpt)

...

come rising sea levels up over our shorelines both the developed and the underdeveloped the homey lowland areas wash jellyfish into our soup bowls and ramshorn snails into our hair as we swim in each other's direction panicked with our yearning for one another because almost nothing is left because it's all gone and thoroughly soaked through with regrets finger-pointing and tranquilizers come earthquakes shatter the apartments which we built on the foundations of how we always did everything

...
