The Towering Irrelevance

mythologyofblue:

The most difficult earth
supports the most delicate flowers.

   Nothing but the wind makes noise.

If we were to stay here for a long time, lie here
            like wood on these waterless beaches,
we would forget our names, would remember that
            what we first wanted
had something to do with stones, the sun,
the thousand colors of water, brilliances, blues.

-Anne Stevenson, from “Sierra Nevada” +

Also the cover photo for Jeff Sharlet’s new, great book. By Stephen Shore, unsurprisingly.
