The Stars Keep Nothing
Thomas M. Scott 1948 (United States)
“The Stars Keep Nothing”
“The stars keep nothing other than changes in time, as the sun curves beyond the moon. The fire in our hearts seems to calm the planets like rain will break the drought. And heaven is certainly awake in love and desire. Still, elsewhere a laugh will end harm. And, in that longest peace we will stay.”
