Mother Quotes by Louise Glück

Louise Glück

As I saw it, all my mother’s life, my father held her down, like lead strapped to her ankles. She was buoyant by nature; she wanted to travel, go to the theater, go to museums. What he wanted was to lie on the couch with the Times over his face, so that death, when it came, wouldn’t seem a significant change.

Like a child, the earth’s going to sleep, or so the story goes. But I’m not tired, it says. And the mother says, You may not be tired but I’m tired

Tired

Louise Glück

Tonight I saw myself in the dark window as the image of my father, whose life was spent like this, thinking of death, to the exclusion of other sensual matters, so in the end that life was easy to give up, since it contained nothing: even my mother’s voice couldn’t make him change or turn back as he believed that once you can’t love another human being you have no place in the world.
