• WE’VE been here before:

“Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again…
But who can live for long
In an euphoric dream;
Who can reach the deaf,
Who can speak for the dumb? Our world in stupor lies;
Yet dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light…
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.”
– WH Auden,
September 1, 1939
