In 1928 I
meditated:
Days have gone - days will come
swiftly flowing on.
Wish that we could linger some
ever and anon -
With the golden sunset
or the virgin dawn
in the cool of forest
on a vibrant tone
Just to grasp the meaning
of the smallest ting,
or the sense of teeming
tender words that sing.
I think this sort of reflects my having learnt a deep lesson from the
unbalance of my early failures and successes - to go slow, abide at whiles in
my quest for understanding, for the integrity of science and the social
responsibility of technology.
Thus I have worked patiently to ward off and to prepare for the difficult
times now in the offing, to wit: of the exhaustion of the words store of
latnet available energy - and material- resources....
Brev från Sven till en vän den 17 maj 1968
(Note:
" ever and anon "= "tid efter annan".
To wit= nämligen
Offing= i antågande, under uppsegling
teeming tender words= överflöda med kärleksfulla ord
)
