"In many ways it’s true. And there have been a lot of factors involved that have made it that way, from the style of playing, the pressure, my own struggles as a player, to how much it was payed for me, what I had accomplished before… the statistics aren’t the way they used to be, and believe me, I was the first person who noticed it and was conscious of it and did everything in my power to change it. I was aware that everyone expected much better of me precisely because I expected much better of myself. Team-wise, it hasn’t been so bad because of the titles we’ve won, but on a personal level I know I’ve got much more to offer. At the end of the day, the only thing that will make you be wherever you want to be is yourself and what you ask of yourself, your work, effort and sacrifice."

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder.
Which, as they kiss, consume."

the paper’s so important, or if anything

I don’t know where the dead go,

"I wanted to tell her everything, maybe if I’d been able to, we could have lived differently, maybe I’d be there with you now instead of here. Maybe… if I’d said, ‘I’m so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything,’ maybe that would have made the impossible possible. Maybe, but I couldn’t do it, I had buried too much too deeply inside me. And here I am, instead of there."

apoetreflects:

       The sun
Drips, coats, and smears, all that spring yellow under unending
Blue.  Only the oaks hold back their leaf buds, reticent.
Reticence is not a bad quality, though it may lead to
       misunderstandings.
I misunderstood silence for disapproval, see now it was
Sympathy.  Thank you, [June], for these warm stirrings.  Life
Goes on, it seems, though in all sorts of places—nursing
Homes—it is drawing to a close.  Abstractions and generalities:
Grass and blue depths into which the evening star seems set.

—James Schuyler, from “Hymn to Life,” in Selected Poems (Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1988)
