This Day by Wendell Berry

Every place had been displaced, every love

unloved, every vow unsworn, every work unmeant

to make way for the passage of the crowd

of the individuated, the autonomous, the self-actuated, the homeless

with their many eyes opened only toward the objective

which they did not yet perceive in the far distance,

having never known where they were going,

having never known where they came from.

III

I was wakened from my dream of the ruined world by the sound

of rain falling slowly onto the dry earth of my place in time.

On the parched garden, the cracked-open pastures,

the dusty grape leaves, the brittled grass, the drooping foilage of the woods,

fell still the quiet rain.
