“I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't just let me go…”

George Michael (1963–2016) English singer-songwriter, musician, producer

“I love them
for finding what
I can't find, and for loving me
for the line I wrote,
and for forgetting it”

Denise Levertov (1923–1997) Poet

O Taste and See : New Poems (1964), The Secret
Context: I love them
for finding what
I can't find, and for loving me
for the line I wrote,
and for forgetting it
so that a thousand times, till death
finds them, they may
discover it again, in other
lines in other
happenings. And for
wanting to know it,
for assuming there is
such a secret, yes,
for that
most of all.
