It is this deep blankness is the real thing strange. <br />The more things happen to you the more you can't <br />Tell or remember even what they were. <br /> <br />The contradictions cover such a range. <br />The talk would talk and go so far aslant. <br />You don't want madhouse and the whole thing there.<br /><br />William Empson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-it-go/
