"Song
Wind blows over the heart
But the heart is fast in the breast,
So only give a sigh after the wind.
A heart that is pinned to the wind
Turns in the side without rest.
Or if you will bear in mind
The stream and the swan gone,
Scattering from its cold plumage the drops of the foam,
Then liken the heart rather
To the stream sailed of a swan."
--Léonie Adams, High Falcon & Other Poems, 1929

They chose to leave them up..." --Spike Japan
"The failure of the political class to inspire mimesis in the rest of society doesn’t mean that mimesis goes away." --The Archdruid Report
