Ursula K. Le Guin Quotes

This Stone

He Went Looking For A Road
that Doesn't Lead To Death.
He Went Looking For That Road
and Found It.
It Was A Stone Road.
He Walked That Road
that Doesn't Lead To Death.
He Walked On It Awhile
before He Stopped,
having Turned To Stone.
Now He Stands There On That Road
that Doesn't Lead To Death
not Going Anywhere.
He Can't Dance.
from His Eyes Stones Fall.
The Rainbow People Pass Him
crossing That Road, Long-legged, Light-stepping,
going From The Four Houses
to The Dancing In The Five Houses.
They Pick Up His Tears.
This Stone Is A Tear
from His Eye, This Stone
given Me On The Mountain
by One Who Died Before My Birth,
this Stone, This Stone.
