Quote of the Day (Poet Denise Levertov, With Thoughts in a Garden)

“In a garden grene whenas I lay—

you set the words to a tune so plaintive
it plucks its way through my life as through a wood.

As through a wood, shadows and light between birches,
gliding a moment in open glades, hidden by thickets of holly
your life winds in me.” — British-born American poet and Roman Catholic convert Denise Levertov (1923-1997), “Olga Poems,” in The Collected Poems of Denise Levertov, edited by Paul A. Lacey and Anne Dewey (2013)
