An Elder Is Someone Who Understands That

Wherever There Is Water There Is Someone Drowning.

And Why Shouldn't The Miraculous, / Caught On This Earth, Visit / The Old Man Alone In His Hut?

I Am Proud Only Of Those Days That Pass In Undivided Tenderness.

But Our Gusty Emotions Say To Me That We Have / Tasted Heaven Many Times: These Delicacies / Are Left Over From Some Larger Party.

All Of Those On The Left, As I Am, Have Always Vastly Preferred The Democratic Society Over The Hierarchical Society And Still Do, But The Democratic Culture Doesn't Exist Without Highly Informed Citizens Capable Of Thinking Well, And If You Have Schools In Which 40 Percent Of The People Coming Out Of Them Cannot Make Change For A Dollar, You Don't Have A Democracy. You Have A Sibling Society.
