East Coker

East Coker: "

here is only the fight to recover what has been lost
And found and lost again and again: and now, under conditions
That seem unpropitious. But perhaps neither gain nor loss.
For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.

The Book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13

The Book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13


When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

The Book of 1 Kings, Chapter 19

The Book of 1 Kings, Chapter 19



nd he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12


And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

from mystery

like a breathing clock


the pendulum swings


next, last, next, last, next.

although it cannot be seen

only for a moment is the pendulum still


yet the machine dreams, next, last, next, last, next.
