the gentle internal colloquies of Belloc in the Four Men
the spirituality of japanese/Chinese diaries/nikki

she talks to him and he talks to himself. Like two soliloquists just within earshot of one another they seem sometimes to fall into dialogue and at others to be taking part in completely different dramas.

dialogue

four men – poet, actor, worker, young man

Come calm my grieving heart

You went away
Or did I let you go?


Again I can not respond

Later
You in your far-off country
Me, my darkened room,
I let you decide our fate and doom
And heed "Forget your English boy,
Kill the light that you once shone
Into his heart"



Would she weep

Would she chide
My disturbance of
Her final rest?
