“We would try by any means
To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,
To let go the means, to wake.”

Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980) poet and political activist

"Poem" — these lines are among those quoted on the The Pacifist Memorial http://www.peaceabbey.org/memorial/memorial.htm The Speed of Darkness (1968) Context: We would try to imagine them, try to find each other, To construct peace, to make love, to reconcile Waking with sleeping, ourselves with each other, Ourselves with ourselves. We would try by any means To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves, To let go the means, to wake.
