We work in the dark—we do what we can—we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.
—Henry James
A moth could not (Lee)
The world is full of people, but seldom
is a person to be found.
The world is full of light, yet who
has seen such a thing?
The world is all dark, yet a hand finds its way
to other hands, a mouth its way to another mouth.
...
I said, "Even in this boundless space,
if both of us turned our faces
toward each other at the same time
our mouths would be separated by an interval
a moth could not fly through without touching
both of what we said."
Li-Young Lee, from "Lake Effect"
