May Sarton Quote

Innocence is not pure so much as pleased,
Always expectant, bright-eyed, self-enclosed,
But bursts into tears at a harsh word.


The Land of Silence (1953)


Innocence is not pure so much as pleased, Always expectant, bright-eyed, self-enclosed, But bursts into tears at a harsh word.

Innocence is not pure so much as pleased, Always expectant, bright-eyed, self-enclosed, But bursts into tears at a harsh word.

Innocence is not pure so much as pleased, Always expectant, bright-eyed, self-enclosed, But bursts into tears at a harsh word.

Innocence is not pure so much as pleased, Always expectant, bright-eyed, self-enclosed, But bursts into tears at a harsh word.
