I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light.  For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

To intercalate realities is the only way to be faithful to time, for at every moment in time the possibilities are endless in their multiplicity.  Life consists in the act of choice.  The perpetual reservation of judgement and the perpetual choosing.

Balthazar from The Alexandria Quartet

Morning at the Window 

by T.S. Eliot

They are rattling breakfast plates

in basement kitchens,

and along the trampled edges of the street

I am aware of the damp souls of  housemaids

sprouting despondently at area gates.

The brown waves of fog toss up to me

twisted faces from the bottom of the street,

and tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts

an aimless smile that hovers in the air 
and vanishes along the level of the roofs.
