  Went to a lovely house concert last evening. Daniel Sperry (http://www.cellomansings.com/) plays cello and recites poetry. It was amazing - kinda like my personal "greatest poetry hits". And the first one? "Song of a Man Who has Come Through" by DH Lawrence, which I share with you, whom it made me think of, naturally:


  Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me!
  A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time.
  If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it carry me!
  If only I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a winged gift!
  If only, most lovely of all, I yield myself and am borrowed
  By the fine, fine, wind that takes its course through the chaos of the world
  Like a fine, an exquisite chisel, a wedge-blade inserted;
  If only I am keen and hard like the sheer tip of a wedge
  Driven by invisible blows,
  The rock will split, we shall come at the wonder, we shall find the Hesperides.

  Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul,
  I would be a good fountain, a good well-head,
  Would blur no whisper, spoil no expression.

  What is the knocking?
  What is the knocking at the door in the night?
  It is somebody wants to do us harm.

  No, no, it is the three strange angels.
  Let them come in.

  "You don't have to take God to anyone.  God is already with everyone.  So, rather than taking the approach that you need to take the truth out to people who need it, adopt the approach that you need to go find the truth that others have and you are missing.  Go be evangelized."   owlrainfeathers.blogspot.com
