17. Deep into "The Wasteland,"
Sat Feb 26, 2022, 10:34 PM
Feb 2022

with Pound, Yeats; The Moderns and chased allusions in subtlety.

While those poets opened pathways, this place narrows them. They were the best of their world and time, but they narrowed their thinking of their peers into art.

This, us, is the crossroads of thinkers. We are not at the Agora, we are the Agora.
We get to refine our thinking, here.

This is a funnel in and a funnel out. Our nets collect what comes in, but we must empty the nets of nonsense to keep the water flowing well.

We all forage to keep the energy, but we need to know if someone had difficulties with that beautiful berry.

Tremendous library, here. Shared knowledge is a key to human success.

Lastly, honor. Honorable people inhabit DU.
