We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
--T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding
Before
Our most enlightening eviction,
We supposed
We had every right
To squat here forever
Undutifully derelict,
Oblivious to light.
***
This blinding
Edifice of beauty
We took for granted, we lost sight,
Though our instructions were simple—
Before you lose it forever,
Take it down
In glorious black and white.
