A poetry moment...

Posted by Phil on February 23, 2001, at 21:16:40

A grave spirit arises from within,
Out of divers things. Yet so simple
These images, so very holy,
One fears to describe them. But the gods,
Ever kind in all things,
Are rich in virtue and joy.
Which man may imitate.
May a man look up
From the utter hardship of his life
And say: Let me also be
Like these? Yes. As long as kindness lasts,
Pure within his heart, he may gladly measure himself
Against the divine.

Thank you for the hope » Phil

Hey, from one day to the next! Good old Amitriptyline.
That is a beautiful poem I swiped from the book Undercurrents. A German poet by the name of Friedrich Holderlin.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to put words together like that?

Phil, lovely and uplifting, and your creative spirit is clearly alive and well as your mood improves, so there goes the idea of losing creativity with remission of depression. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
