“I go back beyond the old man
Mind and body broken
To find the unbroken man.
It is the moment before the dance begins.
Your lips are enjoying themselves
Whistling an air.
Whatever happens or cannot happen
In the time I have to spare
I see you dancing father”
― A time for voices: Selected poems, 1960-1990

offerings to idols, swore oaths that the killer of souls might come to their aid and save the people. That was their way, their heathenish hope; deep in their hearts they remembered hell.”
― Beowulf
