And Now It’s September, / BY BARBARA CROOKER // and the garden diminishes: cucumber leaves rumpled / and rusty, zucchini felled by borers, tomatoes sparse / on the vines. But out in the perennial beds, there’s one last / blast of color: ignitions of goldenrod, flamboyant / asters, spiraling mums, all those flashy spikes waving / in the wind, conducting summer’s final notes. / The ornamental grasses have gone to seed, haloed / in the last light. Nights grow chilly, but the days / are still warm; I wear the sun like a shawl on my neck / and arms. Hundreds of blackbirds ribbon in, settle / in the trees, so many black leaves, then, just as suddenly, / they’re gone. This is autumn’s great Departure Gate, / and everyone, boarding passes in hand, waits / patiently in a long, long line.

Barbara Crooker, “And Now It’s September,” [ID in alt text]

“Don’t wait for it,’ I said. ‘Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you. It was only when I wrote my first book that the world I wanted to live in opened up to me.”

— Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

only one exam left and i’m up to my ears in analytic philosophy. it’s definitely one of the most difficult philosophy modules i’ve taken, but that makes coming to understand it all the more rewarding! wishing everyone busy with exams the best!

"to endure!"

vincent van gogh ("trees and undergrowth") robert lowell [How will the heart endure?] vincent van gogh [I must endure bad times and the waters will rise, possibly as high as the lips and possibly even higher, how can I know beforehand? But I’ll fight my fight and sell my life dearly and try to win and pull through.] rainer maria rilke [To be loved means to be consumed. To love means to radiate with inexhaustible light. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.] joan didion [Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.] elena ferrante [maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.] elena ferrante [I will give what I can give, I will take what I can take, I will endure what has to be endured.] han kang [The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure.] victor frankl [What is to give light must endure burning.]
