Going Somewhere
Walt Whitman
My science-friend, my noblest woman-friend,
(Now buried in an English grave — and this a memory-leaf for her dear sake,)
Ended our talk — "The sum, concluding all we know of old or modern learning,
intuitions deep,
"Of all Geologies — Histories — of all Astronomy — of Evolution, Metaphysics
all,
"Is, that we all are onward, onward, speeding slowly, surely bettering,
"Life, life an endless march, an endless army, (no halt, but it is duly over,)
"The world, the race, the soul — in space and time the universes,
"All bound as is befitting each — all surely going somewhere."

ROSHI'S POEM
Whenever I hear
The edgeless sound
In the deep night
O Mother!
I find you again.
Whenever I stand
Beneath the light
Of the seamless sky
O Father!
I bow my head.
The sun goes down
Our Shadows dissolve
The pine trees darken
O Darling!
We must go home.
Tr. Leonard Cohen

You talk about telling me the truth and then you threaten to write all over
my book of poems. Let us put an end to this chatter.
You expressed some curiosity as to whether I would love you or kill you in
response to one of your gestures. I am neither a saint nor a murderer: I do not love and I do not kill. I make love and I tear the wings off flies
