to say could be unsaid. But once heard, our words cannot be unheard. That's why it's wise to err on the side of accuracy--or kindness. [Rainer Maria] Rilke is furious with his mouth, accusing it of seduction, but not grand seduction, only seduction in a small way that is "quickly insipid".
from Frieda Hughes: The Times: Monday Poem: Down at the mouth
