“The height of the adventure is the height
Of country where two village cultures faded
Into each other. Both of them are lost.”
Directive (1947)
Context: p>The height of the adventure is the height
Of country where two village cultures faded
Into each other. Both of them are lost. And if you're lost enough to find yourself
By now, pull in your ladder road behind you
And put a sign up CLOSED to all but me.</p
