The Pain of the Past In Its Pastness

I Am Dreaming of a White Christmas: The Natural History of a Vision by Robert Penn Warren

All items listed above belong in the world
In which all things are continuous,
And are parts of the original dream which
I am now trying to discover the logic of. This
Is the process whereby pain of the past in its pastness
May be converted into the future tense

Of joy.
