8:00 am Literature
This morning seemed a good time to revisit this book. Some days I am more receptive to the words than on other days. Seems reasonable.
Here are a few passages from the 9th chapter that I liked:
"Reason cannot walk where this poem is going." [p. 114]
"Others, like me, love the word-bunches called poetry." [p. 116]
"Comfort the grieving.
not those who think of only how to sell things.
The sensualities they live for
are sharp points pushing into their flesh." [p. 116]
"Science and theology would be just whims of the wind," [p. 119]
"No matter how fast you run,
your shadow more than keeps up.
Sometimes it's in front." [p. 120]
"We will drink all this wine tonight
because it is spring. It is." [p. 121]
"Mountain holding rubies secretly inside,
should I love more you,
or your modesty?" [p. 122]

A travel day. We are all packed and ready to drive to Calgary.
