PRAYER to the sun above the clouds.

Sun that givest all things birth,
shine on everything on earth!

If that's too much to demand,
shine at least on this our land.

If even that's too much for thee,
shine at any rate on me.

The human spirit sublimates
the impulses it thwarts;
a healthy sex life mitigates
the lust for other sports.
