The Perplexed Scene Where We Stand

Leonard Cohen / Sharon Robinson : By the Rivers Dark

We were wise indeed,
could we discern truly
the signs of our own time;
and by knowledge
of its wants
and advantages,
wisely adjust
our own position in it.
Let us,
instead of gazing wildly
into the obscure distance,
look calmly around us,
for a little,
on the perplexed scene
where we stand.
--Thomas Carlyle
