Knowing what desires we have had (some flaring, beautiful ambitions), And have had to let go, And knowing what questions we have put off answering, Slurring over them, always, Seeing double, gladly, (Fearful, unbigoted minds grasping at both sides of every question), It is not surprising, only regrettable that we should have come to this. —Diana Chang, “Knowing What Desires We Have Had”
