QUESTS FOR WISDOM
Leading Light Love
“She saw the light again. With some irony in her interrogation, for when one woke at all, one’s relations changed, she looked at the steady light, the pitiless, the remorseless, which was so much her, yet so little her, which had her at its beck and call (she woke in the night and saw it bent across their bed, stroking the floor), but for all that she thought watching it with fascination, hypnotized, as if it were stroking with its silver fingers some sealed vessel in her brain whose bursting would flood her with delight, she had known happiness, exquisite happiness, intense happiness, and it silvered the rough waves a little more brightly, as daylight faded, and the blue went out of the sea and it rolled in waves of pure lemon which curved and swelled and broke upon the beach and the ecstasy burst in her eyes and waves of pure delight raced over her mind and she felt, It is enough! It is enough!” (Woolf, To The Lighthouse 51). 
For Your Soul Love
“…I also place a flower on the lake in Ravensbrück where the ashes of the crematoria are dumped. A flower for those who have no one to place a flower for them”(Sherman, Say the Name xxv).
Unfinished Love
“These dreams were not prophesies in the sense of prognostications or predictions. I received them instead as if they were dispatches from a story being told to time by all human lives” (Santos, Places Left Unfinished At The Time of Creation 216).
These three works were created as an improvisational response to three specific texts read in the Harvard University course:
