showing quotes by Louise Glück — back to all
To say I am without fear—
it wouldn't be true.
I'm afraid of sickness, humiliation.
Like anyone, I have my dreams.
But I have learned to hide them,
to protect myself
from fulfillment: all happiness
attracts Fates' anger.
They are sisters, savages—
in the end they have
no emotion but envy.
