One of Christy's favorite quotes is:"You Want a Social Life, With Friends
Poem by Kenneth Koch
You want a social life, with friends
A passionate love life as well
To work hard every day. What's true
Is of these three you may have two
And two can pay you dividends
But never may have three
There isn't time enough, my friends -
Though dawn begins, yet midnight ends -
To find the time to have love, work and friends.
Michelangelo had feeling
for Vittoria and Ceiling
But did he go to parties at day's end?
Homer nightly went to banquets
Wrote all day but had no lockets
Bright with pictures of his Girl.
I know one who loves and parties
And has done so since his thirties
But writes hardly...Expand for more
anything at all.
Wait
By Galway Kinnell
Wait, for now.
Distrust everything, if you have to.
But trust the hours. Havenât they
carried you everywhere, up to now?
Personal events will become interesting again.
Hair will become interesting.
Pain will become interesting.
Buds that open out of season will become lovely again.
Second-hand gloves will become lovely again,
their memories are what give them
the need for other hands. And the desolation
of lovers is the same: that enormous emptiness
carved out of such tiny beings as we are
asks to be filled; the need
for the new love is faithfulness to the old.
Wait.
Donât go too early.
Youâre tired. But everyoneâs tired.
But no one is tired enough.
Only wait a while and listen.
Music of hair,
Music of pain,
music of looms weaving all our loves again.
Be there to hear it, it will be the only time,
most of all to hear,
the flute of your whole existence,
rehearsed by the sorrows, play itself into total exhaustion.
"Be bold, be bold, be not too bodl." Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene, 3.12".
