...I look back over my life.
I try to find analogies.
There are none.
I have longed for people before, I have loved people before.
Not like this.
It was not this.
Give me a world, you have taken the world I was.
ANNE CARSON
Anne Carson (born June 21, 1950) is a Canadian poet, essayist, translator, and a professor of Classics and comparative literature at the University of Michigan. Carson lived in Montreal for several years and taught at McGill University. In 2000 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.
She is reticent about her private life; the biography published in current editions of her books simply states Anne Carson lives in Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Carson
