Quotes by Susan Howe (?)

“we that were wood
when that wide wood was

in a physical Universe playing with

words

bark be my limbs my hair be leaf
Bride be my bow my lyre my quiver ”
― Susan Howe

“Now faith is not what we
hereafter have we have a
world resting on nothing

Rest was never more than
abstract since it is empty
reality we cannot escape”
― Susan Howe, Souls of the Labadie Tract

“Herman Melville is not comforting. Emily Dickinson isn鈥檛 either. Maybe their work is too hungry for comfort, or just too vivid for comfort. But Henry James is 鈥� profoundly so. Because he is tender. The tenderness is there in the structure of the sentence. He knows the way the poor and the dead are forgotten by the living, and he cannot allow that to happen. So he keeps on writing for them, for the dead, as if they were children to be sheltered and loved, never abandoned.”
― Susan Howe
