I wasn't born of a whistle
Or milked from a thistle at twilight.
No, I was all horns and thorns
Sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright.
So enough of this terror we deserve to know light
And grow evermore lighter and lighter.
--Joanna Newsom, from the song "Sawdust and Diamonds" off of the album Ys
