Orchard, and Buttercup, and Bird --
In such a little while!
And yet, how still the Landscape stands!

...shipcraft, any craft, he or she is greatest who contributes the greatest
original
practical example.
Already a nonchalant breed, silently emerging, appears on the streets,
People’s lips salute only doers, lovers, satisfiers, positive knowers;
There will shortly be no more priests—I say their work is done,
Death is without emergencies here, but life is perpetual emergencies here,
Are your body, days, manners, superb? after death you shall be superb;

Behind the waggoners.
There are beautiful beeches down beyond the hill.
Will you always stand there shivering?...Read more of this...
