As the day is long,
so the well runs dry,
and we came to see Time is taller
than Space is wide.
And we bade goodbye
to the Great Divide:
found unlimited simulacreage to colonize!

More quotes by Joanna Newsom

I killed my dinner
with karate
kicked him in the face,taste the body, shallow work is the work that I do.

The Milk-Eyed Mender (2004)

And, when the bulbs do flash,
as bright as morning,
the crowd keeps on gathering
like an electric storm.

Have One On Me (2010)

And a thimble's worth of milky moon
Can touch hearts larger than a thimble.

The Milk-Eyed Mender (2004)

My favorite book of all time is The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle.

And never will I wed.
I'll hunt the pearl of death to the bottom of my life,
and ever hold my breath,
till I may be the diver's wife.

Divers (2015)
