Remembrance: March 16, 1190
Posted by matt on 16 March 2008
from September 1, 1939
Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Happy Birthday, Maxim
Live beyond your income,
Travel for enjoyment,
Follow your own nose.
