Lullaby.
Let nations rage,
Let nations fall.
The shadow of the crib makes an enormous cage
upon the wall.
-Elizabeth Bishop, via Salman Rushdie in hard copy.
(and wouldn't it have been cool if there had been blogs when Rushdie published The Satanic Verses? and he'd kept one?)
and yes, the world goes on out there without me. and in a very small way I had some influence in a very niche area of a very small country via my position as a writer in a relatively well-read newspaper. and none of it matters right now. I like my cage.
