Back out of all this now too much for us

I would be remiss if I did not point out that this weekend's Wall Street Journal has a column in their Masterpiece series about "Directive," the poem from which I titled my blog. Not surprisingly, I concur with Randall Jarrell that the poem is "...consoling or heartbreaking? Very much of both"; and "...hard to understand, but easy to love."

Much like life.
