Is that –
It's a strange way to end a poem.
Someone else might end in this silence or end in the notebook being taken out.
Instead, she gives you what this writer, presumably her, which is another thing we have to talk about in a minute, gives us.
I mean, how do you take that ending?
Well, I mean, she almost makes it quite explicit.
She says, is it lack of imagination that makes us come back?
break to imagine places, not just stay at home.
And then there's that kind of slant rhyme, common home.
And then, or could Pascal have been not entirely right about just sitting quietly in one's room?
You also have room, another kind of slant rhyme there with the M sounds.
But what I love is that she doesn't say, could Pascal have been wrong?
He could not have been entirely right.
She's always...
caging these kind of questions and even the structure here where she starts saying, you know, these are the questions I have.
And then it's like, but surely it would have been a pity.
And then she talks about beauty.
And then she says a word which you pronounce better than I think I can pronounce.
So forgive me.
Noble pantomimists.
