From Sweeney Agonistes
by T. S. Eliot
DORIS: That's not life, that's no life
Why I'd just as soon be dead.
SWEENEY: That's what life is. Just is.
DORIS: What is?
What's that life is?
SWEENEY: Life is death.
My life is light, waiting for the death wind, Like a feather on the back of my hand.

Reflecting on the morning dew
ReplyDeleteand smiling on the sea,
the sun arises, dawning
and sees me, `neath the tree.
It only seems a lifetime
since the ground was rent for me,
flowers dropping by the petal
I approached eternity.

That sounds like my Scandinavian parents speaking...
