We ' d been together for an hour It seemed like seven years had passed And we had barely scratched the surface of what it was That used to matter And for a moment, light as air, We knew what we were holding And smiled the way we used to want to then Noel Paul Stookey 12

Man is most human, and most proves his humanity (I did not say his virility) by the quality of his relationship with women. This obsession with virility and conquest makes a true and deep relationship impossible. Men today think that there is no difference between the capacity to make conquests and the capacity to love. Women respond accord- ingly, with the elaborate deceit and thinly veiled harlotry the role assigned to women by fashion and there is a perma- nent battle between the sexes, sometimes covered over with the most atrocious and phony play acting. In all this everyone completely forgets the need for love. A desperate need; not the need to receive it only, but the need to give love. Thomas Merton 14
