The Normal Excellence

“Courage is not the abnormal, not the marvelous act. Not Macbeth with fine speeches. It is the thing steady and clear. The marriage, not the month’s rapture. The beauty that is of many days. The normal excellence, of long accomplishment. Not the Prodigal Son, but Penelope.”

-Jack Gilbert
