A wondrous and instructive light,
Which taught me that under our feet there is,
As o’er our heads, a place of bliss.”

“one is in a shoe factory cursing the machine,
one is at the aquarium tending a seal,
one is dull at the wheel of her Ford,
one is at the toll gate collecting,
one is tying the cord of a calf in Arizona,
one is straddling a cello in Russia....”
