“What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.”

Source: The Collected Poems
Context: This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
