From the page: "Whenever I am confronted by such sentiments, and by the irrational, overstated language in which they are usually expressed, I know they touch on a darkness inside me. We have often witnessed peoples, societies and nations outside the Western world " and I can identify with them easily " succumbing to fears that sometimes lead them to commit stupidities, all because of their fears of humiliation and their sensitivities. I also know that in the West " a world with which I can identify with the same ease " nations and peoples taking an excessive pride in their wealth, and in their having brought us the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and Modernism, have, from time to time, succumbed to a self-satisfaction that is almost as stupid."

From the page:
Were I to meet you again for the first time,
But in a different orchard, in a different wood"
Perhaps for us the trees would sigh differently,
Extended into infinity under a misty hood...
Perhaps among the furrowed green you'd reach your hands
For other flowers, trembling as they were birds
Perhaps from your undiscerning, unknowing lips
Would fall some other words some other words...
Perhaps into a cascade of flaming roses
The sun would force our souls to burst for good,
Were I to meet you again for the first time,
But in a different orchard, in a different wood..."
