THIS WORLD

It appears that it was all a misunderstanding.
What was only a trial run was taken seriously.
The rivers will return to their beginnings.
The wind will cease in its turning about.
Trees instead of budding will tend to their roots.
Old men will chase a ball, a glance in the mirror—
They are children again.
The dead will wake up, not comprehending.
Till everything that happened has unhappened.
What a relief! Breathe freely, you who suffered much.

About suffering, he was never wrong. Czesław Miłosz, the old master, born on this day in 1911.

I think you mean "fascism fighters," not "fascist fighters."
Makes a big difference! Elbows up and carry on.

Kate Atkinson, just about anything by her but especially Life After Life, A God in Ruins, Emotionally Weird, or her Jackson Brody 'mystery' series.

Not sure who made this, but it had a couple repeats that I have removed! A great visual of smarts and experience verses pretend smarts and experience.
