If love were as brittle as that <br>it would surely break. You could lose it. You'd<br>need to defend it. It could be wounded like a rose <br>that suffered haemophilia for the rest of its fragile life.<br>You'd have to look for it down on your hands and knees<br>late at night when the grass is wet, with a lantern of fireflies.<br>You'd have to put the pieces back together with the binding energies<br>of the strong and weak nuclear forces if you ever <br>stepped on it accidentally like a nesting English skylark's egg. <br>And if you ever ran out of it when the water palace <br>of the black Taj Mahal turned back into a hovel in a slum, <br>you'd have to beg, and that would either empower your inferiors <br>or open a window of opportunity as big as the nightsky<br>for the indefinable to be merciful to the unattainable. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">But take it from the experienced astroalchemist he is <br>if you mix a little starmud with a splash of moonwater, <br>and stir it in your heart, and let it sit awhile, <br>then drink a great draft of it from your skull <br>as if you could swallow a whole river in a single gulp, <br>down to the last drop, this feeling will overwhelm you <br>and halfway between midnight and the new moon<br>love will lend its eyes to your mind, <br>like the nightsky does starlight to a mirror, <br>and both will disappear into the longest, clearest light year of their lives.<br>If not, he tells himself, it's binary galaxies with binoculars<br>passing through each other like the ghosts of two starfish <br>trying to find a dynamic equilibrium to their maculate lucidity <br>like a gyroscope in a space where you don't really need one <br>but for the optics of what you can see <br>with your naked third eye, is probably tender and wise.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Patrick+White">Patrick White</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=476604" data-title="He Doesn't Really Know What It All Means de Patrick White" data-description="He doesn't really know what it all means, but he gives it access to his heart, free-range of his mind.
