What remains?

                      What remains when a fact is perceived?

                      Nothing.

                      This is not an assertion of cruelty or

                      A denial of my affection, my love.

                      If I love someone in the deeper sense of the world,

                      I love man; I love humanity.

                      I love the whole human world;

                      I love the earth, the trees the stars,

                      The whole universe.

                      And I question whether there is any security anywhere at all –

                      Even in God, for that is a projection of our own fears.
