Beloved

Beloved

“Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all.”
“Something that is loved is never lost.”
“She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.”
“Beloved, she my daughter. She mine. See. She come back to me of her own free will and I don't have to explain a thing.”
"Spring sauntered north, but he had to run like hell to keep it as his traveling companion."
“And in all those escapes he could not help being astonished by the beauty of this land that was not his. He his in its breast, fingered its earth for food, clung to its banks to lap water and tried not to love it. On nights when the sky was personal, weak with the weight of its own stars, he made himself not love it. Its graveyards and its low-lying rivers. Or just a house - solitary under a chinaberry tree; maybe a mule tethered and the light hitting its hide just so. Anything could stir him and he tried hard not to love it.”
