Why Doesn't The Past Decently Bury Itself,

Homer Was Wrong In Saying, "would That Strife Might Pass Away From Among Gods And Men!" He Did Not See That He Was Praying For The Destruction Of The Universe.

The Whole Life-effort Of Man Is To Get His Life Into Direct Contact With The Elemental Life Of The Cosmos, Mountain Life, Cloud Life, Thunder Life, Air Life, Earth Life, Sun Life. To Come Into Immediate Felt Contact, And So Derive Energy, Power And A Dark Sort Of Joy. This Effort Into Sheer Naked Contact, Without An Intermediary Or Mediator Is The Root Meaning Of Religion.

The Flood Subsides, And The Body, Like A Worn Sea-shell Emerges Strange And Lovely.

Beware Of Absolutes. There Are Many Gods.

We Have Buried So Much Of The Delicate Magic Of Life.
