Derek Walcott quote ✍️

Quote

In the Village IIIWho has removed the typewriter from my desk, so that I am a musician without his pianowith emptiness ahead as clear and grotesqueas another spring? My veins bud, and I am sofull of poems, a wastebasket of black wire. The notes outside are visible; sparrows willline antennae like staves, the way springs were, but the roofs are cold and the great grey riverwhere a liner glides, huge as a winter hill, moves imperceptibly like the accumulatingyears. I have no reason to forgive herfor what I brought on myself. I am past hating, past the longing for Italy where blowing snowabsolves and whitens a kneeling mountain rangeoutside Milan. Through glass, I am waitingfor the sound of a bird to unhinge the beginningof spring, but my hands, my work, feel strangewithout the rusty music of my machine. No wordsfor the Arctic liner moving down the Hudson, for the mangeof old snow moulting from the roofs. No poems. No birds.
