Verse
“Always be a poet, even in prose.” - Charles Baudelaire
The poem in
this issue very specifically illustrates the article by
Sabine Kurjo McNeill in our Main Theme section.
Hardly
surprising, since it was written by her, and formed the
introduction to her article, although it had, in fact, been
written several decades earlier. She wrote:
“Only Connect the prose and the
passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be
seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only
connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation
that is life to either, will die.” This is the
quote by E.M. Forster that I was told about after I chose
ONLY CONNECT as the title for my book on networking – in
1988.
Only
Connect was also a poem that I had written in 1984
