Mary Oliver, from “The Summer Day.”

“The things which the child loves remains in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remember those places regardless of time and place.”

— Kahlil Gibran, letter to Nakhli Gibran, 15 March 1908, Kahlil Gibran: A Self Portrait, ed. 7 transl. Anthony R. Ferris (Citadel, 1959)

― Albert Camus, Notebooks: 1935-1951
