Lawrence Hall, HSG
So Fast Thou Grow’st
Cf. Shakespeare, Sonnet 11
I put something out there in the universe…
-Chris-in-the-Morning, Northern Exposure
You will make something beautiful in any event
Even if only a silly ceramic frog
Holding a perfectly pointless umbrella
Upon the tree-stump where you feed the birds
Your silly ceramic frog will someday break
The stump will rot away into the earth
The birds will live through their generations
And you will be but whisperings in the wind
But you make life beautiful in any event:
It is a forever that you put into the universe
