Reading Part 2, In The Wilderness, out loud… beautiful.

A sample:
“ a civilization lost its faith in the old stories. Then it lost even
the stories. And with the stories it lost the questions that arise
from the stories, and with the questions it lost its foothold in
Time, it lost its place, it’s knowing. The heart of its knowing,
which was its very heart.”

I loved all the references to other poems and artists. I wonder how many I missed.
Euphonious.
