Desire for the Everlasting Hills

“...All this time I’ve felt the ‘desire for the everlasting hills,’ or at least their poetics, their aesthetics, which I ascribed to my mother in my poems. And suddenly that ‘desire for the everlasting hills’ became something more than poetry, became a prayer, a quest for the road from darkness into light. Desire—is love. And the ‘everlasting hills’—are undying beauty, the Always that does not deceive.”
