“We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.”
~ from Stories of the Street, Leonard Cohen, 1934 – 2016

I love this quote, from the closing lines of Stories of the Street, on Leonard Cohen’s debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen (Colombia Records, 1967.). The balance of the lines is so perfect and encapsulates the ache of our human existence so well.
No surprises there, of course—because this is Leonard Cohen with his lifetime of contributing amazing and gorgeous words.
I just felt like celebrating this one today, and by extension, the man and his genius.
