You remind me of even badder old days and Kipling:
My son was killed while laughing at some jest. I would I knew
What it was, and it might serve me in a time when jests are few.
Faber and Faber have published a book, "101 Poems Against War." This
is in it. I have no patience for Kevin Kline tonight, good though he
is in "Cyrano de Bergerac" on channel ten. My daughter has climbed
Masada, like a Roman or a tourist. The rest of the day is Dead Sea
and camels. She is out of missile range, but will return to
Jerusalem. She is not a Palestinian. She can come home.
