Charles Olson Quote

When I saw him, he was at the door, but it did not matter,
he was already sliding along the wall of the night, losing himself
in some crack of the ruins. That it should have been he who said, The kingfishers!
who cares
for their feathers
now? His last words had been, The pool is slime.

Part I, 2 - The Kingfishers (1950)
