Once for each thing. Just once; no more.
And we too, just once. And never again. But to have been this once, completely, even if only once: To have been at one with the earth, seems irrevocable. --Rainer Maria Rilke, from Ninth Elegy trans. Stephen Mitchell “Your voices, the songs and the setting all conspired to create a truly moving and beautiful experience...it was a grace-filled occasion, and left me feeling uplifted.”
