Sweet Flower Rivers

More From Philip Sidney

I've known rivers: i've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. my soul has grown deep like the rivers. i bathed in the euphrates when dawns were young. i built my hut near the congo and it lulled me to sleep. i looked upon the nile and raised the pyramids above it. i heard the singing of the mississippi when abe lincoln went down to new orleans, and i've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset. i've known rivers: ancient, dusky rivers. my soul has grown deep like the rivers.

At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

Neither loss of father, nor loss of mother, dear as she was to mr thornton, could have poisoned the remembrance of the weeks, the days, the hours, when a walk of two miles, every step of which was pleasant, as it brought him nearer and nearer to her, took him to her sweet presence - every step of which was rich, as each recurring moment that bore him away from her made him recal some fresh grace in her demeanour, or pleasant pungency in her character.

A number of frail girls... prisoners in the top room of a circular tower, embroidering a kind of tapestry which spilled out the slit windows and into a void, seeking hopelessly to fill the void: for all the other buildings and creatures, all the waves, ships and forests of the earth were contained in this tapestry, and the tapestry was the world.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

What is the psychedelic experience? what promise does it hold for a sane future for our planet and our children? and what is it about it that kindles the kind of loyalty that i feel coming from the people in this room this evening? and i submit to you that it is nothing less than the rebirth of a voice that has been silent for at least a thousand years, the still small voice of the logos of the planet.
