But something she yearned for by which her life might be filled with action at once rational and ardent; and since the time was gone by for guiding visions and spiritual directors, since prayer heightened yearning but not instruction, what lamp was there but knowledge?
—George Eliot
In sleep (Stafford)
In sleep all dreams belong, correcting each other;
but in blizzards of our waking all possible worlds
are fighting each other.
"Every act in every dream deserves to live,"
I tell myself...
William Stafford, from "The Title Comes Later"
