‘The only thing to be done now,
now that the waves of our undoing
have begun to strike on us,
is to contain ourselves.

To keep still, and let the wreckage
of ourselves go,
let everything go, as the wave smashes us,
yet keep still, and hold
the tiny grain of something that no wave
can wash away,
not even the most massive wave
of destiny.

Among all the smashed debris of myself
keep quiet, and wait.
For the word is Resurrection.
And even the sea of seas will have to
give up its dead.’

**d.h. lawrence**
