...

And you that ache so much to be sublime,
And you that feed yourselves with your descent,
What comes of all your visions and your fears?
Poets and Kings are but the clerks of Time,
Tiering the same dull webs of discotent,
Clipping the same sad alnage of the years.

Do you know Eros Turannos by EAR? It's on my top five lists of favorite poems of all time. (And with me, you know that's a big deal.) Check it.

I'm pretty sure I learned about that poem (And Robinson in general) through you. It involved one of those old poet laureate guys who all hit on you - Merwin, I think, reading a letter from a woman and then reading the poem through his awesome voice-of-the-poet gravitasaphone.
