“What do we have to appease the great forces?
And I think in the end this was the question
that destroyed Agamemnon, there on the beach,
the Greek ships at the ready, the sea
invisible beyond the serene harbor, the future
lethal, unstable: he was a fool, thinking
it could be controlled. He should have said
I have nothing, I am at your mercy.”
—from “The Empty Glass,” Louise Glück
“so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens”
—“The Red Wheelbarrow,” William Carlos Williams
I learn so much from you. Thank you for that. Your intelligence subdues my frustration with the important issues we share. You draw great conversations with comments I read and consider. I look so forward to the days ahead, when justice prevails. Yes I have faith.
And I count indictments to go to sleep.
“What do we have to appease the great forces"
An inspirational question, causing a brainstorming of my part.
1) It should never be any force greater than the force of Law or of hhumanity (excluding forces of nature which are acts of God);
2) It must not be any appeasement of Man by Man, but rather a relational exercise of the dictum of law.
Unfortunately, human nature has never been perfect, but we can redress it to bring about, the ideal relations between people of different forces.
