  • It's too early to blog!  But never to early too comment.  So I'll just post a comment I left on Katie's site:


    I am the epitome of what you are talking about.  Hence, I do not need to understand. I come forth like a surge and retreat like a swallow (water and bird imagery, of course).  And the hopeless call it life.  I see it almost like standing on the corner and watching people pass, frantically moving station to station. and getting nowhere fast.  And as I stand on that corner, a swallow dives and surges on my head: splat!!  Damn, I should have moved!


    Stars, I have seen them fall
    But when they drop and die,
    No star is lost at all
    from all the star-sown sky.


    The toil of all that be
    Helps not the primal fault:
    It rains into the sea
    And still the sea is salt.


       --A.E.Housmann (by my best recall)
