Fear Quote by Elton Glaser
““If you cannot come, if you fear What music might wind your feet In the moss and migrant roots, What drink will score your throat Like a sky scratched By the claw-end of leaves What wheels will drive you Home at dawn, where the dew-blades Bear up the infancies of light— Then send, in the tremble Of your own cold hand, Regrets only, nothing but regrets.””
