clairvoyance

They haven't put up the barricades, yet,
the streets still alive with faces,
lovely men & women still walking there,
still lovely creatures everywhere,
in the eyes of all the secrets of all
still buried there,
Whitman's wild children still sleeping there,
Awake and walk in open air.

aus: Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Populist Manifesto. For Poets, with Love

Cohen collects his letters and makes certain he is heavily photographed. He does this simply because he feels he is becoming an important writer and that such material will someday be a value. And yet he is totally devoid of arrogance and is deeply concerned with the style of his soul.
