Soon, oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here
Yes, The Gates of Delirium, (Part Three, "Soon")
A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)

Our reason to be here
Friday, March 03, 2017
The real objective must always be the good life for all the people. International machinery will mean something to the common man throughout the world only when it is translated into terms that he can understand: peace, bread, housing, clothing, education, good health, and above all, the right to walk with dignity on the world's great boulevards.
