Friday, April 05, 2002 Blank Verse, Complete Notion It's loneliness that drives the fear in men and babes; that makes the will become a self to feed upon distraction. We claim gifts of heaven before we know their holiness and wonder: marriage, children, friendship - prematurely we leap from loneliness to hope of happiness, and find it not. We want ecstasy, a permanent bliss, to drive our loneliness away forever. It cannot be. We always fail, for God is not as much an infinite pleasure as ordinary time of peace; complacent, bemused, and quiet in his drifting thoughts. In men's eyes, God 's a dullard and a frown, a killjoy and senile uncle. What is light if all it does is shine and nothing more? Loneliness wants pleasure not pardon. posted by Mark Butterworth | 11:15 AM | |
