Eating the Flowers

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are here in a wood of

little beeches:

And the leaves are like

black lace

Against a sky of nacre.

One bough of clear promise

Across the moon.

It is in this wise that

God speaketh unto me.

         Frederic Manning *

For youth, the moon is

a promise of all

those tremendous things

which await it-

  Hjalmar Soderberg

Isn't an awareness of

their transience what

gives these moments

their exquisite edge?

Robert Harris

"In literature, flower-eating

is used to tip the reader off

to characters' faults

their excessive sexuality,

their hedonistic

pursuit of happiness,

or their superficiality."

A lie doesn't become truth,

wrong doesn't become right,

and evil doesn't become good,

just because it's

accepted by a majority.

* Here is the rest of that poem:

We are here in a wood of little beeches: And the leaves are like black lace Against a sky of nacre. One bough of clear promise Across the moon. It is in this wise that God speaketh unto me. He layeth hands of healing upon my flesh, Stilling it in an eternal peace, Until my soul reaches out myriad and infinite hands Toward him, And is eased of its hunger. And I know that this passes: This implacable fury and torment of men, As a thing insensate and vain: And the stillness hath said unto me, Over the tumult of sounds and shaken flame, Out of the terrible beauty of wrath, I alone am eternal. One bough of clear promise Across the moon — Frederic Manning"
