John Ashbery Quote

You and I
Are suddenly what the trees try To tell us we are:
That their merely being there Means something; that soon We may touch, love, explain.


Some Trees (1956)


You and I Are suddenly what the trees try To tell us we are: That their merely being there Means something; that soon We may touch, love, explain.

You and I Are suddenly what the trees try To tell us we are: That their merely being there Means something; that soon We may touch, love, explain.

You and I Are suddenly what the trees try To tell us we are: That their merely being there Means something; that soon We may touch, love, explain.
