Trem Two

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

John, I'm only dancing...

My feet float in solemn glory.
And I, I am
Dancing too.
Freed from the burden -
Into the dark, into the void.
Rooms full of past times,
Spaces traversed
And solitudes lost,
Are beginning to dance, to dance.
And I, I am
Dancing too.
Ironical rashness
I have not forgotten.
I know the void,
I know the burden.
But I dance and dance
In ironical glory.

- Hannah Arendt.
