Laura Benét

  • “Few know the ways of this rapt eremite / By civilization he is not impressed; / Lost in the spiral of his conscience, he / Detachedly takes rest.”

    • "The Snail," Noah's Dove ()

  • “All of time is given you, man, / To mark with chalk the circle of your walk, / In your submission, / Spell the word fruition.”
