The Things they Carried
a poem
What to do but walk?
Now, deprived of paradise —
we shall find some spring.
Let me carry you to our
new home, may we there find peace.
Deprived from Paradise is a painting by the Russian painter Geliy Korzhev showing Adam carrying Eve out of paradise.
No peace on this earth since then.
Ooooof. Is that a play on Tim O'Brien's book? It certainly pulled me back around to his book.
