Read these lines from the poem "In Thai Binh (Peace) Province" by Denise Levertov:
It is that life, unhurried, sure, persistent
, I must bring home when I try to bring the war home.
Child, river, light.
Here the future, fabled bird that has migrated away from America,
nests, and breeds, and sings,
common as any sparrow.
