The Unity of Little Things

Audio: The Unity of Little Things

There is a drop of water so little so insignificant
Nobody ever notices its much short-lived presence
But when a little drop and still more little drops
Come together as one, there emerges a mass of water
And the very massive ocean that no one can ignore
Is made up of those multitudes of united little drops

A Tearful Complaint

Always I am thus cast in a bad treasonous light
A son of the darkness, says the slanderous lot
A harbinger of sadness, thus lies the crowd
A friend of the deathly grave, so says the world
