• I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray.

    Stanley Kunitz: I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
