reason 234,098,271 i love z.h.




So many feelings fit between two heartbeats
so many objects can be held in our two hands

Don't be surprised we can't describe the world
and just address things tenderly by name.

-Zbigniew Herbert, from "Never of You"

this is making me cry. if it wasn't maybe the most beautiful thing i've ever read, i would try and blame it on my consistent weepiness.
