There are enough signs. Of the lack of tenderness in the world. And yet. And yet. All you have to do is ask. Anyone here can extol the virtues of an onion. Where to get barbecue minced, pulled, or chopped. The hour of the day they have known the thorn of love. -C. D. Wright

You must never betray pure joy--the kind you were born and began with--either by hiding it or parading it in front of people's eyes; they don't want to be shown it. --Eudora Welty
