you are so pure, and it has nothing to do with your eyes or your smile, everything to do with your heart, all torn and weathered on your shirt for the entire world to see, so they can tear it up some more. you are so golden, and i fear that you don’t know how good you are — oh my, you are so good — because you cry when you get home most days, and you can’t lift your body from the ground. is your body heavy from the people who have walked all over it? why did no one help you? you are so kind, so kind, so kind to everyone that you forget to be kind to yourself.
Pay attention to the way she speaks for lengths, and falls from heights, and loves in widths. Maybe then you’ll understand why her sadness comes in volumes.
My memory of the entry into Damascus was of a quietness and emptiness of street, and of myself crying like a baby with eventual thankfulness, in the Blue Mist by your side.
It is not a passive role that the librarian plays, content to be a passer-out of books, a checker-up of overdues, or just a looker-on in the classroom. She makes an active and positive contribution to the instructional program of the College. She recognizes as one of her most important obligations the training of students themselves to use the library efficiently. She is essentially a teacher as she helps a student define her problem, weigh various approaches to its solution, and finally select and locate helpful materials for study.
The librarian is teaching effectively when she helps a reader identify and point up her interests and select materials to satisfy, deepen, and expand such interests. What is more, she has the important opportunity for teaching at the particular time the student is most actively feeling the need for help — a real psychological advantage.

know how good you are —
oh my, you are so good —
because you cry when
you get home most days, and

of a goddess in their hearts.
You will beg before her, you will scream;
but Hera never flinched
from the words of a mortal,
so why should she?
Do not stand in her way.
She will burn down your kingdoms,
herself with it, if it meant
your ruin.
