• What we want
  is never simple.
  We move among the things
  we thought we wanted:
  a face, a room, an open book
  and these things bear our names -
  now they want us.
  But what we want appears
  in dreams, wearing disguises.
  We fall past,
  holding out our arms
  and in the morning
  our arms ache.
  We don't remember the dream,
  but the dream remembers us.
  It is there all day
  as an animal is there
  under the table,
  as the stars are there.

  Linda Pastan

• And each year now
  we know more, but we know no better —
  what we see in the sky is simply
  the softened gloss of the past sifting
  back to us, and likewise, every atom
  down the body’s shining length
  was inside a star, and will be again.

• You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself flowers in your veins,
  till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and
  perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than
  so, because men and women are in it who are every one sole heirs as well
  as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight, as misers do in gold, and
  kings in scepters, you never enjoy the world.
