And the telephone teaches?

It is no small thing to
hearten men
But the quiet cannot speak
Unless a tie sustain their dead--
That the pure body bear them up
With their light it receives
Pure oil beaten for light,
To glow--not to grovel.


When dust lights up is it even?
And when men count as they have given
Do they not slight what each is?



If it helps, diffract crystals and tracers.
Rabbi S said:
-- You learn from everything
What man has made
Has also something to teach us.
His chassid jumped:
--Does a train?
--Yes, in a second
One may miss everything.
--A telegraph?
--Every word weighs
--And the telephone teaches?
--Also. What we say
Here is heard there.
