“She was herself the heart of the charmed circle, poised in the ultimate unspeakable stillness, beyond death, beyond birth, beyond the movements, the vehemences, the agitations of the world.”— May Sinclair, from “The Flaw in the Crystal,” originally published c. 1912
“Don’t let my silence wound you. I’m just tired of words.”— Manuel Bandeira, from “Rest Your Hand on My Forehead,” This Earth, That Sky: Poems by Manuel Bandeira (University of California Press, 2018)
