“True that life is given, And received. But truer still: The single-act of giving Makes the offerer the beggar, too— For when down on the knees The man (or god) stretches the arms In giving, It is no accident the hands Are curled like bowls or cups, For he offers self, yet Begs it back again.” — Edith L. Tiempo
True that life is given,
And received. But truer still:
The single-act of giving
Makes the offerer the beggar, too—
For when down on the knees
The man (or god) stretches the arms
In giving,
It is no accident the hands
Are curled like bowls or cups,
For he offers self, yet
Begs it back again.
