More From Anne Michaels

Egotism is not a good quality. it's not something to be admired or even tolerated. it wouldn't be tolerated in a field commander and it shouldn't be tolerated in a movie director.
Quality Directors Fields
We were all involved in the death of john kennedy. we tolerated hate; we tolerated the sick stimulation of violence in all walks of life; and we tolerated the differential application of law, which said that a man's life was sacred only if we agreed with his views.
Hate Men Views
For my part, i rather distrust men or concerns that rise up with the speed of rockets. sudden rises are sometimes followed by equally sudden falls. i have most faith in the individual or enterprise that advances step by step. a mushroom can spring up in a day; an oak takes 50 years or more to reach maturity. mushrooms don't last; oaks do. the real cause for an enormous number of business failures is premature over-expansion, attempting to gallop before learning to creep. sudden successes often invite sudden reverses.
Success Spring Real
I love to go out in late september among the fat, overripe, icy, black blackberries to eat blackberries for breakfast, the stalks very prickly, a penalty they earn for knowing the black art of blackberry-making; and as i stand among them lifting the stalks to my mouth, the ripest berries fall almost unbidden to my tongue, as words sometimes do, certain peculiar words like strengths or squinched, many-lettered, one-syllabled lumps, which i squeeze, squinch open, and splurge well in the silent, startled, icy, black language of blackberry - eating in late september.
Art Fall Knowing
Television and radio are what i call sequential media; they're not simultaneous media. with simultaneous media, you can scan your eye down an electronic or print page and pick among six or seven stories you might like and want to read. with television and radio, you have to wait until the guy's finished talking about the balloon boy, which i don't have the slightest interest in, to find out that all hell's broken loose in baghdad. because they've chosen that day to start with the balloon boy.
Eye Boys Media
The historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of literature from homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order.

Was it pretty? your country. . .your land?" "it was beautiful," the gunslinger said. "there were fields and forests and rivers and mists in the morning. but that's only pretty. my mother used to say that the only real beauty is order and love and light.
Beautiful Mother Country
But the question is, do we care enough? do we care enough to keep standing up for the country that we know is possible, even if it's hard, and even if it's politically uncomfortable? do we care enough to sustain the passion and the pressure to make our communities safer and our country safer? do we care enough to do everything we can to spare other families the pain that is felt here today?
