Quotes from Dorothy Thompson, 1920s

How grand it is this falling out of love— This falling out of you into the world! I had forgotten how the rivers move… I had forgotten how a leaf is curled… I think I had forgotten that the sun Is warmer than the beaming of your eyes... Now I can celebrate again the rites Of the world's loving; share its ecstasies...
~ Dorothy Thompson, 1920s
