’Twas ours to soar and his to see.
But we are coming down again,
And we shall come down pleasantly;
Nor shall we longer disagree
On what it is to be sublime,
But flourish in our perigee
And have one Titan at a time.
JOHN GORHAM
“Tell me what you’re doing over here, John Gorham—
Sighing hard and seeming to be sorry when you’re not.
