Читать книгу Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved - Gregory Orr - Страница 12

Sadness is there, too.

All the sadness in the world.

Because the tide ebbs,

Because wild waves

Punish the shore

And the small lives lived there.

Because the body is scattered.

Because death is real

And sometimes death is not

Even the worst of it.

If sadness did not run

Like a river through the Book,

Why would we go there?

What would we drink?
