“Even in Kyoto/Hearing the cuckoo's cry/I long for Kyoto”

“We had doubts about the Kyoto Protocol, we wanted reasoning from our partners in the European Union, in the IPCC. Formal requests had been sent to these organizations. But we have not received responses yet, which suggests that no coherent answers can be offered. What we hear is 'it is not comprehensive responses that matter, we will not give them anyway; what is important is whether you believe us or not”

“"Cuckoo!"
"Cuckoo!"
While I meditated
on that theme
day dawned.”

“O Blithe newcomer! I have heard,
I hear thee and rejoice.
O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird,
Or but a wandering Voice?”

“I hear my silence talked of in every lane;
The suppression of a cry is itself a cry of pain.”

“I hear the little children of the wind
Crying solitary in lonely places.”

“She never utters a sound even when she's crying, and that makes me a little sad. Doesn't seem right. When you cry, people should hear you. The world should stop.”

“Is life worth living? Yes, so long
As Spring revives the year,
And hails us with the cuckoo's song,
To show that she is here;”

“In every cry of every Man,
In every Infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.”

“Sometimes you cry, Susie, even when someone you love has been gone a long time.”
