John Updike
I have just brought
back a good message from the land of 200°:
God exists.
I had severely
doubted it before:
but the bedposts
spoke of it with utmost confidence,
the threads in my
blanket took it for granted,
the tree outside the
window dismissed all complaints,
and I have not slept
so justly for years.
It is hard now to
convey
how emblematically
appearances sat
upon the membranes
of my consciousness;
but it is a truth
long known
that some secrets
are hidden from health.
