This is a Poem/phrase that has really stuck with me since Professor Downes introduced it to my ENG 280 class last year. I feel it to be very powerful and symbolic to many things in life. Particularly toward things that have been lost and the affect of its loss...
"Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its colour."
W.S Merwin 1973

Still hits me hard every time I read it.
A guy in my class said it rings the Bell of 9/11 a.k.a the Twin towers, and that statement can just be an account of the current state of the world right now. It's so true, the loss of the twin towers sparked up the whole ideology of terrorism etc. in our world today...
how do YOU feel about those words?
