Robert Bly Quote
BAD PEOPLEA man told me once that all the bad peopleWere needed. Maybe not all, but your fingernailsYou need; they are really claws, and we knowClaws. The sharks--what about them?They make other fish swim faster. The hard-faced menIn black coats who chase you for hoursIn dreams--that's the only way to get youTo the shore. Sometimes those hard womenWho abandon you get you to say, You.A lazy part of us is like a tumbleweed.It doesn't move on its own. It takes sometimesA lot of Depression to get tumbleweeds moving.Then they blow across three or four States.This man told me that things work together.Bad handwriting sometimes leads to new ideas;And a careless God--who refuses to let youEat from the Tree of Knowledge--can lead
