- Quote from the song “October” by U2

[americangael]

Dead in living hands. I reinterred the unbinding leaves Imagining my soiled fingers Among the last. I am duty-bound now, Knowing. Unworthy. I bear witness To my fraternal Celt: Soldier-priest, Warrior-poet.

La forêt est splendide. Les feuilles mortes portent à la rêverie; les vertes parlent de l'espérence et de la Celtie.

Yann-Ber Kalloc'h (Jean-Pierre Calloc'h), a letter from the front, September 1915.

“The forest is splendid. The falling leaves tell of daydreams; the evergreens speak of hope, and of our Celtic home.”

Last year, it seemed Autumn would never come. Finally, as November strode on, the leaves turned in a sudden tumult. For one splendid day the sun drenched Central Park gold. The next day, it was swept bare.

Doom: Historical and political. Pessimism. Suicides. The concrete realities of men losing power and money..I saw the headlines. I saw families broken by economic dramas..the changes and havocs brought on by world conditions..I was overwhelmed. And then, with greater, more furious, more desperate stubbornness I continued to build my individual life, as if it were Noah’s Ark for the deluge. I refused to share the universal pessimism and inertia.

Anaïs Nin, in the 1930s. (via americangael)

The poet is saying: what am I doing but striking a few little sparks when what the occasion calls for is comet?
