William H Gass Quotes

I Suspect If We Were As Familiar With Our Bones As With Our Skin, We'd Never Bury Dead But Shrine Them In Their Rooms, Arranged As We Might Like To Find Them On A Visit; And Our Enemies, If We Could Steal Their Bodies From The Battle Sites, Would Be Museumed As They Died, The Steel Still Eloquent In Their Sides, Their Metal Hats Askew, The Protective Toes Of Their Shoes Unworn, And Friend And Enemy Would Be So Wondrously Historical That In A Hundred Years We'd Find The Jaws Still Hung For The Same Speech And All The Parts We Spent Our Life With Titled As They Always Were - Rib Cage, Collar, Skull - Still Repetitious, Still Defiant, Angel Light, Still Worthy Of Memorial And Affection. After All, What Does It Mean To Say That When Our Cat Has Bitten Through The Shell And Put Confusion In The Pulp, The Life Goes Out Of Them? Alas For Us, I Want To Cry, Our Bones Are Secret, Showing Last, So We Must Love What Perishes: The Muscles And The Waters And The Fats.
