This month's pick comes from Kenyon. It's a bit of a hefty read so if you haven't already...Border's is a great place to be on a Sunday.
Title link takes you to more of the actual text.
It begins with something from The Ninth Duino Elegy, by Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Stephen Mitchell...
I. The Man Out of Time
Oh not because happiness exists,
that too-hasty profit snatched from approaching loss.
..........
But because truly being here is so much; because everything here apparently needs us, this fleeting world, which in some strange way keeps calling to us. Us, the most fleeting of all.
(above material IS the actual text of the book)
Reading that, I have to say - as I grab my keys and head out the door - makes me want to read more. So although it is copywrited material - it's for the good of the promotion of the book.
Next Meeting: Thursday, October 29th (plenty of time)
Happy Reading All!
