"There is a wild spirit of good-naturedness which looks like malice." - Friedrich Nietzsche
I wasn't born of a whistle or milked from a thistle at twilight
No, I was all horns and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright
So: enough of this terror
We deserve to know light
And grow evermore lighter and lighter
You would have seen me through
But I could not undo that desire
- Joanna Newsom
