“[…] the beautiful changes
In such kind ways
Wishing ever to sunder
Things and things’ selves for a second finding, to lose
For a moment all that it touches back to wonder.”
– Richard Wilbur

“Not revelation–tis–that waits
But our unfurnished eyes–“
-Emily Dickinson

“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order, a timetable not necessarily–perhaps not possibly–chronological. The time as we know it subjectively is often the chronology that stories and novels follow: it is the continuous thread of revelation.”
-Eudora Welty
