Theodore Roethke Quotes

Let Others Probe The Mystery If They Can.
Time-harried Prisoners Of Shall And Will-
The Right Thing Happens To The Happy Man.
The Bird Flies Out, The Bird Flies Back Again;
The Hill Becomes The Valley, And Is Still;
Let Others Delve That Mystery If They Can.
God Bless The Roots! -Body And Soul Are One
The Small Become The Great, The Great The Small;
The Right Thing Happens To The Happy Man.
Child Of The Dark, He Can Out Leap The Sun,
His Being Single, And That Being All:
The Right Thing Happens To The Happy Man.
Or He Sits Still, A Solid Figure When
The Self-destructive Shake The Common Wall;
Takes To Himself What Mystery He Can,
And, Praising Change As The Slow Night Comes On,
Wills What He Would, Surrendering His Will
Till Mystery Is No More: No More He Can.
The Right Thing Happens To The Happy Man.
