Taiye Selasi Quotes
He Feels A Second Pang Now For The Existence Of Perfection, The Stubborn Existence Of Perfection In The Most Vulnerable Of Things And In The Face Of His Refusal-logical-admirable Refusal-to Engage With This Existence In His Heart, In His Mind. For The Comfortless Logic, The Curse Of Clear Sight, No Matter Which String He Pulls On The Same Wretched Knot: (a) The Futility Of Seeing Given The Fatality In A Place Such As This Where A Mother Still Bloody Must Bury Her Newborn, Hose Off, And Go Home To Pound Yam Into Paste; (b) The Persistence Of Beauty, In Fragility Of All Places!, In A Dewdrop At Daybreak, A Thing That Will End, And In Moments, And In A Garden, And In Ghana, Lush Ghana, Soft Ghana, Verdant Ghana, Where Fragile Things Die.
