First Known When Lost: How To Live, Part Twenty-Nine: Some Things Never Change

Crofter
Last thing at night
he steps outside to breathe
the smell of winter.
The stars, so shy in summer,
glare down
from a huge emptiness.
In a huge silence he listens
for small sounds.  His eyes
are filled with friendliness.
What’s history to him?
He’s an emblem of it
in its pure state.
And proves it.  He goes inside.
The door closes and the light
dies in the window.
Norman MacCaig, in Ewen McCaig (editor), The Poems of Norman MacCaig (Polygon 2005).

 

Thoughts on T’ien-chin Bridge
The countless great lords and statesmen of past regimes —
later ages know them merely as a list of names.
Only the water under T’ien-chin Bridge
goes on year after year,  making the same sound.
Shao Yung (1011-1077) (translated by Burton Watson), in Burton Watson, The Columbia Book of Chinese Poetry: From Early Times to the Thirteenth Century (Columbia University Press 1984), page 336.

Aretha Franklin ‘Change Gonna Come’ Tribute – YouTube

Have adored Aretha, since first discovering her when I was a high school sophomore. She transforms this song. Didn’t think Sam Cooke’s version could be bested. She transformed every song she sang. – word pond

Warren vows to ‘attack corruption in Washington’ in New Year’s Eve address | TheHill

“The billionaires, the corporate executives and their favorite presidential candidates have one clear goal: to convince you that everything you imagine is impossible. To convince you that reform is hopeless. To convince you that because no one can be pure, it’s pointless to try to make anything better,” Warren said.

“Those with power — and those who do their bidding — dump an endless avalanche of excuses, misdirections and distractions on the American people. It’s all designed to get us to give up and resign ourselves to the way things are — with them in power and everyone else left behind.” – Elizabeth Warren from her New Year’s Eve Address
