Spender, Stephen 1983
Monday, October 24, 1983
The I is one of
The human machines
So common on the gray plains—
Yet being built into flesh
My single pair of eyes
Contain the universe they see;
Their mirrored multiplicity
Is packed into a hollow body
Where I reflect the many, in my one.
– Stephen Spender, “The Human Condition”
