Depends

1) “The Red Wheelbarrow,” by William Carlos Williams, (1962)

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.


2) from “Hand in Glove,” by The Smiths, (1983)

Hand in glove
We can go wherever we please
And everything depends upon
How near you stand to me

Look see the sights

1) from “Souls on Fire,” (1972) Elie Wiesel quoting the Baal Shem Tov

“The man who looks only at himself cannot but sink into despair, yet as soon as he opens his eyes to the creation around him, he will know joy.”


2) “From the Morning,” by Nick Drake, from “Pink Moon” (1972)



A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around.

So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.

And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around

So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.
