More From W. S. Merwin

First i might say that when a person, when a man separates from his wife, at the out start it's a physical separation but it's not a psychological separation. he still thinks of her in, in probably warm terms. and, but after the physical separation has taken, existed for a period of time, it becomes a psychological separation as well as physical. and he can then look at her more objectively. my split or separation from the black muslim movement at first was only a physical separation, but my heart was still there and it was impossible for me to, for me to look at it objectively.

Needle was robb and bran and rickon, her mother and her father, even sansa. needle was winterfell's grey walls, and the laughter of its people. needle was the summer snows, old nan's stories, the heart tree with its red leaves and scary face, the warm earthy smell of the glass gardens, the sound of the north wind rattling the shutters of her room. needle was jon snow's smile. he used to mess my hair and call me "little sister," she remembered, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes.

Since the first human eye saw a leaf in devonian sandstone and a puzzled finger reached to touch it, sadness has lain over the heart of man. by this tenuous thread of living protoplasm, stretching backward into time, we are linked forever to lost beaches whose sands have long since hardened into stone. the stars that caught our blind amphibian stare have shifted far or vanished in their courses, but still that naked, glistening thread winds onward. no one knows the secret of its beginning or its end. its forms are phantoms. the thread alone is real; the thread is life.

For many years, i have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. the color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. and the color of where you can never go.

In that memorable year, 1822: oersted, a danish physicist, held in his hands a piece of copper wire, joined by its extremities to the two poles of a volta pile. on his table was a magnetized needle on its pivot, and he suddenly saw (by chance you will say, but chance only favours the mind which is prepared) the needle move and take up a position quite different from the one assigned to it by terrestrial magnetism. a wire carrying an electric current deviates a magnetized needle from its position. that, gentlemen, was the birth of the modern telegraph.

The truth is that you cannot attain god if you have even a trace of desire. subtle is the way of dharma. if you are trying to thread a needle, you will not succeed if the thread has even a slight fiber sticking out.

The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.
