Only in silence the word, only in dark the light...

... only in dying life: bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky.

I feel strangely gutted that Ursula Le Guin has died.  Strange how deeply the death of a writer you have never met can touch you.  I always thought of writing to her to say I'd enjoyed her thin book of poetry Walking In Cornwall because although I'm sure she got a lot of fan letters, I don't suppose she got many about an obscure book of poetry from the 1970s, but for one reason or another I never did.

Alas.

What a beautiful quotation!

They are all very lovely poems, though there are not really enough of them to make even a slim volume (it was print-on-demand and padded with local art) they were still worth buying.
