“Man makes one journey all his living days, Down through the realms of music and of art; Down through the halls of fame and glorious praise; Down through the tears and triumphs of the heart To some sweet woman waiting some place there. For her he builds his cities and makes war, Seeks gold and glorious wealth to store.” MenHeartArtWarWaitingWomenWealthCitiesJourneyTearsSweetFameGoldPraiseStoresTriumphRealmsGloriousHallsMen WomenHall Of Fame Author:John Updike
“Seeing the moon, he becomes the moon, the moon seen by him becomes him. He sinks into nature, becomes one with nature.
