We have but one life here. Let us touch each thought greedily, Each thing, each action, And take it forcefully Into ourselves. To grasp and to cherish, For once passed over lt comes no more. Should all pass us untouched, unnoticed We are left-with twilight-emptiness. IFR f,-.357 .

ALFIE AND THE EXISTENTIALISTS Sound like a musical group? Yes. The song that Alfie and the Existentialists sing runs along these lines: There once was a musician who only knew one note, and the poor musician could not recognize the symphony. Poor, poor musician. This is our symphony. Each note is every happening that has come our way. Anna Maria has given us the pattern, the knowledge of the use of our notes over and over again in chords, in arpeggios, in minor keys or major keys, this enables us to enjoy our participation in the entire symphony. What we have learned is to see things in the universal pattern of history. Our studies are but a repetition of so many others, our thoughts have been thought before, and our loves and hates are but recurring themes. Of course, since we are individuals in a unique time and place, our notes vary in their arrangement. We may be a part of a chord or a trill, or be a sharp or a flat. Nevertheless, we each are but one note of a symphony. This is a very valuable thing to know, now, whenever we encounter a new note Qliterally, a person, thought, or actionj, we donit enjoy it just for its singular sound, but we enjoy it in its composition. We donit simply hate our one war, we regard it as an often repeated happening, sometimes good, sometimes bad, and very diflicult to judge. We can estimate what will happen, because weive heard the passage many times before. We have been taught the symphony, we have been minutely aware of each new passage. Our consciousness has been created. We are aware of everything, of precedents and their implications. Because we spend one-third of our lives sleeping, we believe it is a good idea to be at least fairly conscious dur- ing the other two-thirds. This is the worth of an education-to make us more real, to let us touch each event and thought because of our newly learned aware- ness of them in their universal places. But, to return to Alfie and the Existentialists . . . Alfie has chosen the there is no meaning to my actionsv theme and, thus, drifts aimlessly. We must agree that he has the right to decide that no value is the best value. But we are unique, singular, free, not part of the disorganized crowd. Yes, we may choose our own note, but-too bad for Alfie-we are born to play in the symphony. Our note, once chosen, has to be played in context. The existentialist may be intro- ducing a fairly novel passage, but it is, after all, only a passage. Hopefully, Alfie rebels only against the given key of his note, not against the fact that his note must be played. Alfie questions: What,s it all about? Why this symphonyfw Some answer F or Godf' some For manf' It is the same choice, and the symphony will be played despite Alfie. If he wishes to be a part of the lasting whole rather than a random note, he must take up his instrument and learn not only his part, but its relation to the entire symphony.
