look at what passes for the new.

"Begin again.

          It is like Homer's

                    catalogue of ships:

it fills up the time.

          I speak in figures,

                    well enough, the dresses

you wear are figures also,

          we could not meet

                    otherwise.  When I speak

of flowers

          it is to recall

that at one time

we were young."


This from William Carlos Williams, Asphodel, That Greeny Flower.
