Camaraderie!

Oh, fortunate sweet band of friends!
Whatever else may have transpired –
whatever other aims or ends
we may have thought we once required –

today, right here, we know our dreams
of understanding can be lived:
no longer plagued by awkward schemes,
no clotted plottings need be sieved

through some resistant colander
of Mind; nor are we doomed to sail
like der fliegende Holländer
alone forever, left to wail

unheard, unloved: no, we
have found camaraderie!
