I just finished reading Meadowlands, a book of poetry by Louise Gluck. It was an examination both of marriage and of the relationship between Odysseus and Penelope. One of the lines that stood out the most for me was this one from a poem called Nostos:
"We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory."
