I was reading a book of william vaughn moody's poems.

He once wrote this, about

Pandora:

Who?

I heard her once, and once upon the peaks a little after, thunder tore the sky and t was as if, far off, unearthly steeds and cloudy chariots plunged across the dark hush fell; and wailing lkke a broken bird, I heard her dropping down from rock to rock then for an endless season sat she here, her head between her knees, and all her hair spread like a night-pool in the autumn woods.

wow

Right?

The book was an old one, with a long preface written by a friend. And the friend talked about how theyd go on a walk in the woods, and moody would rhapsodize about the beauties of nature

And while I read that all I could think was how incredibly awkward I would feel if someone did that

And that was only a hundred years ago what has changed so fast that if someone wants to say some pretty things about a tree or a rock, we blush like they just split their pants in front of us!

Is it rationality?

Are we all so enlightened now that we cant hold anything to be sacred?

I dont think thats it, because I know spiritual people who would also feel weird about it.

So, what happened? Who killed whatever was alive? Why has poetry been handed over to activists and obscurantists?

Why is it that, even though I am aware that I am wrong to feel this way. I cant imagine hanging out with a great writer while she says something nice about a damn flower?!

I'm sorry, but this conversation has gotten too honest for my comfort can you say something sarcastic about a shared insecurity wed be better off discussing sincerely

Death is for suckers I'm gonna live forever

There

We go/
