Lawrence Hall, HSG
So Fast Thou Grow’st
Cf. Shakespeare, Sonnet 11
I put something out there in the
universe…
-Chris-in-the-Morning, Northern
Exposure
You will make something
beautiful in any event
Even if only a silly
ceramic frog
Holding a perfectly
pointless umbrella
Upon the tree-stump where
you feed the birds
Your silly ceramic frog
will someday break
The stump will rot away
into the earth
The birds will live
through their generations
And you will be but
whisperings in the wind
But you make life
beautiful in any event:
It is a forever that you
put into the universe
