I don't know <br>whether they're Japanese or Mycenaean<br>and there's nothing I can do.<br>The path from here to that village <br>is not translated. A hero, dying, <br>gives off stillness to the air. <br>A man and a woman walk from the movies <br>to the house in the silence of separate fidelities. <br>There are limits to imagination.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Robert+Hass">Robert Hass</a><div class=q>
