• This is a nice metaphor, too, about mothers and daughters - that when it came time for me to make my own, I was making a completely different garden than the one that my mom has.

It doesn't feed anybody, it doesn't serve any purpose.

There was no ordinariness to return to, no refuge from the blinding potency of things, an apple screaming its sweet juice.
