The wine of life is oozing drop by drop,
The leaves of life are falling one by one.
~ Omar Khayyam
.
Happy are those who know:
Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;
And from that source alone, the Infinite
Crosses over to gladness, and us -
Free of our bridges
Built with the stone of distinctions;
So that always, within each delight,
We gaze at what is purely single and joined.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

now, the first half i get, but i question the, "We're too unseparate." aren't we exactly unseparate, ie) alone? (and yet, a part of the whole.)

hi erin,
Frost seems to be pointing toward his sense that a change in our cultural insanity will come only from within each one, that we live so much of our lives in relation to pleasing or displeasing those around us, propping up our own identity perhaps, that it's in aloneness that we return home to our senses.
this is just part of a long poem, you may like to read the whole thing.
