Their fate is like the chronicle of planets. Nothing in them is not particular, and planet is dissimilar from planet. And if a man lived in obscurity making his friends in that obscurity Obscurity is not uninteresting. To each his world is private, and in that world one excellent minute. And in that world one tragic minute. These are private. In any man who dies there dies with him his first snow and kiss and fight. It goes with him. They are left books and bridges and painted canvas and machinery. Whose fate is to survive. But what has gone is also not nothing: By the rule of the game something is gone. Not people die but worlds die in them. Whom we knew as faulty, the earth's creatures. Of whom, essentially, what did we know? Brother of a brother? Friend of friends? Lover of lover? We who knew our fathers in everything, in nothing. They perish. they cannot be brought back. The secret worlds are not regenerated. And every time again and again I make my lament against destruction.       Life Stories Workshop PO Box 603 Potts Point NSW 2011 |  Phone 02 9332 2787  |  Email: pmiller@lifestories.com.au.
