take this quiz to find out which modern feminine archetype you embody 💘✨💐

“And so it seems that I must always write you letters that I can never send.”

“Poetry and love ask for patience. Love is waiting and then cutting yourself open. Poetry is cutting yourself open and then waiting.”

“Dear heart, I am so sorry that things are bad. I know how terrible such times are when one moves all the day between hope and despair and cannot kill hope and yet wants to be without it.”

“When I finish a poem, I haven’t finished it. In truth, I abandon it and the poem is no longer mine or, more accurately, it barely exists. After that moment, the ideal triangle depends on the addressee or reader. Only the reader can finish the incomplete poem, recover its multiple meanings, add new ones. To finish is the equivalent, here, of giving new meaning, of re-creating.”
