Christy Brown Quotes

Shall The Dire Day Break When Life
finds Us Merely Husband And Wife
with Passion Not So Much Denied
as Neatly Laundered And Put Aside
and The Old Joyous Insistence
trimmed To Placid Coexistence?

Shall We Sometime Arise From Bed
with Not A Carnal Thought In Our Head
look At Each Other Without Surprise
out Of Wide Awake Uncandid Eyes
touch And Know No Immediate Urge
where All Mysteries Converge?

Speak For The Sake Of Something To Say
and Now And Then Put On A Display
of Elaborate Mimicry Of The Past To Prove
that Ritual Reigns Where Once Ruled Love
and Calmly Observe Those Bleak Rites
that Once Made Splendour Of Our Nights?

Dear, When We Stop Being Outrageous
and No Longer Find Contagious
the Innumerable Ecstasies We Find
in Rise Of Hand Or Leap Of Mind -
not Now Or Then, Love, Need We Fear Thus;
those Two Sad People Will Not Be Us.
