Of feeling, so long deemed
Inconsequential and therefore appropriate to our later musings
About religion, about migrations. What is restored
Becomes stronger than the loss as it is remembered;
Is a new, separate life of its own.”

Its very much business as usual. The reductive principle
Is no longer there, or isnt enforced as much as before.”
