With those who shaped him to the thing he is
When this dumb Terror shall rise to judge the world,
After the silence of the centuries?”

all this leprous day and then more vodka,
more soda and the pond forgiving our bodies,
the pond sucking out the throb.”

“It was her stern necessity: all things
Are of one pattern made; bird, beast, and flower,
Deceive us, seeming to be many things,
And are but one. Beheld far off, they differ
As God and devil; bring them to the mind,
They dull its edge with their monotony.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
