At A Closer Look
Kurt F. Svatek D.D.
How idyllic is it really
to live in an idyll?
Can we find there, in the hearts,
just a southern, warm place,
one in brilliant sunshine,
or is there also one with northern
cold,
full of hatred and slyness?
Do not the dancers crush
their mutual hopes underfoot
along their Pas de Deux?
Can even the blind lead others,
because the paths are even anyway?
And is not all this laughing there
followed by a flood of tears?
