Three Propositions

"In the spent of one night he wrote three propositions:

That Hell is the denial of the ordinary. That nothing lasts.

That clean white paper waiting under a pen


is the gift beyond history and hurt and heaven."



(Concluding stanza of the twenty one line poem 'The Gift', John Ciardi, 1916-)
