“If You Open Your Eyes, Night Opens Its Doors Of Moss, Opens The Secret Kingdom Of Water That Flows

“If you open your eyes, night opens its doors of moss, opens the secret kingdom of water that flows from the center of night. If you close them, a river, a sweet and silent current, floods over you within, moves forward, darkens you: night soaks the riverbanks in your soul.”

— Octavio Paz, from The Poems of Octavio Paz; Nocturnal Water. Trans. Eliot Weinberger.

“Nature is woman’s best friend,’ she often said. ‘If you’re having troubles, you just swim in the water, stretch out in a field, or look up at the stars. That’s how a woman cures her fears’.”
