stuck in my head

i find it here, quoted. that it shows up in an interview with one of my favorite poets, is strange. that it is an interview nearly 10 years old and they are talking about the state of the world [bad / yugoslavia / poverty / defunding the arts] makes me realize how it's appropriate to think of both then and now.

D.H. Lawrence's 'Hymn to Priapus'

Grief, grief, I suppose and sufficient
Grief makes us free
To be faithless and faithful together
As we have to be


Grief may not quite be the right word these days, but then again it seems almost perfect.
