Portrait of a Child

When the child was a child, It was time for these questions: Why am I me, and why not you? Why am I here, and why not there? When did time begin and where does space end? Is life under the sun not just a dream? How can it be that I, who Iam, didn't exist before I came to be, and that, someday, I, who Iam, will no longer be who Iam? -An excerpt from "Song of Childhood" by Peter Handke

  1. Also read William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience. I've thought about some of those poems quite a bit since I've been in India. Nice study.

  3. Great stuff. Blake was also an accomplished artist and visionary (and probably also Aldersgate Tiddleywinks champion 1791-1793, knowing Blake).

  8. Yes, I started off as his American translator and editor and then became a kind of bloody expert, t'is true, but it is one of the most interesting things and projects of my life because the fellow is so productive and does not repeat himself.
