Michael Alexander Quotes & Sayings

But to elude death
is not easy: attempt it who will,
he shall go to the place prepared for each
of the sons of men, the soul-bearers
dwelling on earth, ordained them by fate:
laid fast in that bed, the body shall sleep
when the feast is done. — Michael Alexander

Keep your section solvent, keep your job. — Michael Alexander

The shattered wall,
the broken tower
have a story to tell -
from the touchstones of ruins
and ancient texts
we make a pilgrimage.

from The Ruins — Michael Alexander

a gold signum; gave him to the flood,
let the seas take him, with sour hearts
and mourning mood. Men under heaven's shifting skies, though skilled in counsel,
cannot say surely who unshipped that cargo. — Michael Alexander
