Postscript<br />
In the week after the Sy, whilst recovering, I wrote this sonnet:<br />
Just what is it that makes post-symposium life so different, so<br />
appealing?<br />
The drift of languid days so full of naught<br />
Before – the endless pace of things to do<br />
A mind that tries to catch the briefest thought<br />
As stranded, now the flow it seems has flew<br />
Is this reward for trying not so hard<br />
Though carried by the river’s restless surge<br />
To soar to heights that god’s so jealous guard<br />
Where all my sins, and hopes too, are now purged?<br />
This ordinary life has charms enough<br />
Yes, Adam*, you are right, no need for change<br />
But we must learn to love the smooth and rough<br />
As the mundane shows how all things are strange<br />
Yet though I try to like what e’er I has<br />
My heart is full of soul transporting Jazz<br />
*Adam Phillips: Unforbidden Pleasures<br />
