The sense of danger must not disappear: The way is certainly both short and steep, However gradual it looks from here; Look if you like, but you will have to leap. - from ooLeap Before You Look, W.H. Auden

Between attention and attention The first and last decision Is mortal distraction Of earth and air, Further and nearer, The vague wants Of days and nights, And personal error; And the fatigued face, Taking the strain Of the horizontal force And the vertical thrust, Makes random answer to the crucial test . . . . - from ttMake Up Your Mindh W.H. Auden

Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs Always wrong to the light, so never seeing Deeper down in the well than where the water Gives me back in a shining surface picture Me myself in the summer heaven, godlike, Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs. Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb. I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture, Through the picture, a something white, uncertain, Something more of the depths-and then I lost it. Water came to rebuke the too clear water. One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple Shook whatever it was lay there at the bottom, Blurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness? Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something. - ttFor Once, Then, Somethingh Robert Frost
