4-'4' LARRY KARASS To know what is unpenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty. Albert Einstein We didn't choose the day of our birth, nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind. We didn't choose our parents, colour, sex, health, or endowments, We were shaken into existence like dice from a box, Barriers and prison walls surround us. We encompass large landscapes with the aid of observation and memory, We know ourselves: but we aren't the only window through which we view our existence. Our eyes are on the future and we are certain that one small part of what is given us is free. We are children of Saturn who shed our influence on growing man. To us, the past is a foreign country, where things are done differently: but we know, through experience, that those who fly too near the sun get scorched.

STEPHEN MACLEAN Supposed confessions of a second rate sensitive mind not in unity with itself . . . How sweet to leave a common faith. To hold a common scorn of death And at a burial to hear The creaking cords which wound and eat Into my human heart, whene'er Faith goes to earth, with grief, not fear, With hopeful grief, were passing sweet. A grief not uninformed, and dull, Hearted with hope, of hope as fall As is the blood with life, or night And a dark cloud with rich moonlight To stand beside a grave, and see The red small atoms wherewith we Are built, and smile in calm, and say- 'These little motes and grains shall be Clothed on with immortality More glorious than the noon of day. All that is pass'd into the flowers, And wild beasts, and other men, And all the Norland whirlwind showers From open vaults, and all the sea o'erwashes with sharp salts, again shall fleet together all, and be lndued with immortality.. . ' JAMES MCCALLUM Motto Love sought is goodg but given unsought much better Thought for the day: lsn't life a terrible thing-thank God' Dylan Thomas Poem about the thoughts of a Senile Revolutionist: Ah, If only l knew for certain whom to blow up with by billion megaton bomb bo that justice be done So that truth may prevail -Irving Layton
