Leonard Cohen. THE FLAME: Poems & Selections from Notebooks. M&S, 2018.
A great way to end the year and the decade. While listening to another gift: Thanks for the Dance.
He concludes with "thank you" to the troubled young man who taught him the chords.
He ends with "a mandate from God / to enter the dark".
I shall remember his "no longer inclined / to speak the truth // speak truth to power? / rather / speak truth / to the powerless."
And his "I Pray for Courage" p. 87.
