From "Listening to the Koln Concert" by Robert Bly: When men and women come together, / how much they have to abandon! Wrens / make their nests of fancy threads / and string ends, animals /// abandon all ther money each year. / What is that men and women leave? / Harder than wrens' doing, they have / to abandon their longing for the perfect. /// The inner nest not made by instinct / will never be quite round, / and each has to enter the nest / made by the other imperfect bird.
