• As dew leaves the cobweb lightly Threaded with stars, Scattering jewels on the fence And the pasture bars; As dawn leaves the dry grass bright And the tangled weeds Bearing a rainbow gem On each of their seeds; So has your love, my lover, Fresh as the dawn, Made me a shining road To travel on, Set every common sight Of tree or stone Delicately alight For me alone.

• I sleep all day. Noises flit around the house- garbage truck in the alley, rain, tree rapping against the bedroom window. I sleep. I inhabit sleep firmly, willing it, wielding it, pushing away dreams, refusing, refusing. Sleep is my lover now, my forgetting, my opiate, my oblivion. [...] It is afternoon, it is night, it is morning. Everything is reduced to this bed, this endless slumber that makes the days into one day, makes time stop, stretches and compacts time until it is meaningless.

• They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.

• Isn't it possible, he wondered, for one person to love another without trying to own each other? Or is that buried so deep in our genes that we can never get it out? Territoriality. My wife. My friend. My lover. My outrageous and annoying computer personality who's about to be shut off at the behest of a half-crazy girl with OCD on a planet that I never heard of and how will I live without [her] when she's gone?

• Went up from my feet to my head,
  With little chills after it stealing-
  And my hands got as numb as the dead.
  A moment, and then it was over:
  The diamond blazed up in my eyes,
  And I saw in the face of my lover
  A questioning, strange surprise.
  Maybe 'twas the scent of the flowers,
  That heavy with fragrance bloomed near,
  But I didn't feel natural for hours;
  It was odd now, wasn't it, dear?
  Write soon to your fortunate Clara
  Who has carried the prize away,
  And say you'll come on when I marry;
  I think it will happen in May.

• The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there.
  And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.
