I memorized it for class last semester. It's incredible.<BR/> <BR/><BR/> Home is where one starts from. As we grow older<BR/>The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated<BR/>Of dead and living. Not the intense moment<BR/>Isolated, with no before and after,<BR/>But a lifetime burning in every moment<BR/>And not the lifetime of one man only<BR/>But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.<BR/>There is a time for the evening under starlight,<BR/>A time for the evening under lamplight<BR/>(The evening with the photograph album).<BR/>Love is most nearly itself<BR/>When here and now cease to matter.<BR/>Old men ought to be explorers<BR/>Here or there does not matter<BR/>We must be still and still moving<BR/>Into another intensity<BR/>For a further union, a deeper communion<BR/>Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,<BR/>The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters<BR/>Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20850161.post-1144554558895786142006-04-08T23:49:00.000-04:002006-04-08T23:49:00.000-04:00so jealousso jealouschrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809637216040190638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20850161.post-1144534907944522412006-04-08T18:21:00.000-04:002006-04-08T18:21:00.000-04:00Ooh!
