“Down to the Puritan marrow of my bones
There’s something in this richness that I hate.”
Elinor Wylie book Nets to Catch the Wind

Nets to Catch the Wind (1921), Wild Peaches
Context: Down to the Puritan marrow of my bones
There’s something in this richness that I hate.
I love the look, austere, immaculate,
Of landscapes drawn in pearly monotones.
There’s something in my very blood that owns
Bare hills, cold silver on a sky of slate,
A thread of water, churned to milky spate
Streaming through slanted pastures fenced with stones.
“Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.”
