Favorite Quotes

Instead of writing a blog, I'm going to post a favorite quotation now and then, from my collection! Here's one I just came across in a novel by Pat O'Shea called "The Hounds of the Morrigan" It pretty much sums up what I'm trying to do in my latest book about proportion as a rhythmic marker in free-verse poetry:


"Don't look for it -- find it.

Don't search for it -- come to it.

This is the best and the oldest way, for maps

can be read by many eyes and maps can't show

the crooked path of sensing."

I have my own intermittently compiled, long-long term "Commonplace Book" on my laptop, with poems, snippets, observations & snap-philosophies ... just as readers of old copied favorite quotes into an album. I love your quote and your notion to share from your faves, Anita!
