Today's Mood. The 1st of November

As if the Sea should part
and show a further Sea -
And that - a further - and the Three
But a Presumption be -
Of Periods of Seas -
Unvisited of Shores - 
Themselves the Verge of Seas to be - 
Eternity - is Those - 

W.H. Auden's poetry

Progress?


      Sessile, unseeing,
the Plant is wholly content
      with the Adjacent.


      Mobilised, sighted,
the Beast can tell Here from There,
      and Now from Not-Yet.


      Talkative, anxious
Man can picture the Absent
      and non-Existent.

Existence
