Reflections on a creation story
Death is the mother of beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.… Is there no change of death in paradise? Does ripe fruit never fall?
— Wallace Stevens
I prefer fruit that falls, for from the seed that is then released comes new life and new beauty.
