...the quitness of our thoughts
Yannis Ritsos
Obligation
A star shines in the early evening like light through a keyhole.
You place your eye against it and look inside. You see everything.
Behind the locked door, the world is all lit up.
It's up to you to open it.
from Notes On The Margins Of Time (1938-1941) [Collected Poems A' -- pg 491]
