EXILE
is closely experienced
as discomfort
of a separated mind
a wish for home..
a feeling of restriction
a curtailment of freedom
which is lifted
with momentary arrivings
but reinstated as shadow
as exile resumes..
exile is "quiet desperation" *
an expression of
dissatisfaction of the present
and continued searching
for echoes of happiness...

*Henry David Thoreau
Voyagers discover that the world can never be larger than the person that is in the world; but it is impossible to foresee this, it is impossible to be warned.James Baldwin (1924-1987) African-American writer.
