Lesson from the French Open

"Well, that is what life does. I stare
A moment longer, so. And presently
The massive volume of the world
Closes again.

Upon that book I swear
To abide by what it teaches:
Gospels of ugliness, of soiled gusts,
Of a shrieking to be faced
Full into, eyes astream with cold--

With cold?
All right then. With self-knowledge."
