“What’s to be done or said in the meanwhile I don’t know,
and what is the use of poets in a mean-spirited time?”
—Friedrich Hölderlin, from “Bread and Wine”
At such times, the true
Believer’s mind believes
The eye can
Take in only so much,
And wonders if what
It cannot see
Otherwise is likewise as
Unbelievably shattering,
To say the least.
