People or stars Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.
Read widely of others' experiences, even if it'd be more comfortable to snuggle back in the comforting cotton-wool of blissful ignorance.
Not easy to state the change you made. If I'm alive now, I was dead, Though, like a stone, unbothered by it.
Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted.
I think I may well be a Jew.
And I identify too closely with my reading, with my writing.
