But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,

but great rivers flow silently.
