remarking ontologically, "We are created from and with the world/To suffer with and from it day by day." He insists that we are "required to love/All homeless objects that require a world."Of course, everything "requires" a world and the speaker asserts that whether the subject is the physical level or "a dream world," the requirement to love operates as a guiding principle. He insists that our attachment to delusion drives our mistakes and thus we know only "panic and caprice."
