you've been caught up in a myth,
it's ancient history, he said.
and what i suddenly understood
was that the past is dead.
time's moved on.
all this power and pain
has meshed itself within our world
anticipating once again
the banishment, repeating.
(we were made for this.)
as i breathed he told me,
never coming back, no never,
but memory is all it takes
to live forever. |
The test
of a first rate intelligence
is the ability
to hold two opposed ideas in mind
at the same time
and still retain the ability
to function.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The difference between magic and myth
is that magic is alive.
