Anne Carson Life Sayings

Anne Carson Life Sayings

Anne Carson

Now every mortal has pain
and sweat is constant,
but if there is anything dearer than being alive,
it's dark to me.
We humans seem disastrously in love with this thing
(whatever it is) that glitters on the earth-
we call it life. We know no other.
The underworld's a blank
and all the rest just fantasy.
