Marilynne Robinson Quotes

I Told You Last Night That I Might Be Gone Sometime, And You Said, Where, And I Said, To Be With The Good Lord, And You Said, Why, And I Said, Because I'm Old, And You Said, I Don't Think You're Old. And You Put Your Hand In My Hand And You Said, You Aren't Very Old, As If That Settled It. I Told You You Might Have A Very Different Life From The Life You've Had With Me, And That Would Be A Wonderful Thing, There Are Many Ways To Live A Good Life. And You Said, Mama Already Told Me That. And Then You Said, Don't Laugh! Because You Thought I Was Laughing At You. You Reached Up And Put Your Fingers On My Lips And Gave Me That Look That I Never In My Life Saw On Any Other Face Besides Your Mother's. It's A Kind Of Furious Pride, Very Passionate And Stern. I'm Always A Little Surprised To Find My Eyebrows Unsinged After I've Suffered One Of Those Looks. I Will Miss Them.
