Save the Child


Between Two Bitter Moments

Between two bitter moments there’s no time even to breathe
between your face and your face
the tender form of a child takes shape and disappears.

—George Seferis, from Sketches for a Summer

    How splendid... and desolating... that evanescent moment of evanishment.

    And how often Seferis captured it.
