Since there are some
beautiful writers in the crowd

00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:06.150 align:middle line:84%
I thought I would read this,
which I think of as sort

00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:09.870 align:middle line:90%
of an invocation for writers.

00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:13.210 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.210 --> 00:00:15.820 align:middle line:90%
Bellow.

00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:19.870 align:middle line:84%
"Tell the range and all that's
howling, the flickers of life

00:00:19.870 --> 00:00:23.920 align:middle line:84%
beyond the weeds, the vulture's
furrowed brow of flight,

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.220 align:middle line:84%
the blasted sticky
Canadian lawn thistle;

00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:29.920 align:middle line:84%
tell the clowned-out
clouds and the rain,

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.280 align:middle line:84%
and all that makes you
go quiet again, tell them

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.590 align:middle line:84%
you didn't come
here to make a fuss,

00:00:35.590 --> 00:00:38.830 align:middle line:84%
or break, or growl,
or scream; tell them,

00:00:38.830 --> 00:00:42.280 align:middle line:84%
crazy sky and stars
between, tell them

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.420 align:middle line:84%
you didn't come to disturb
the night air and throw a fit,

00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:50.970 align:middle line:84%
and then get down in
the dark and do it."
