Pansies (Lawrence)/Escape

​
ESCAPE
When we get out of the glass bottles of our own ego,and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the cages of our personalityand get into the forest again,we shall shiver with cold and frightbut things will happen to usso that we don't know ourselves.
Cool, unlying life will rush in,and passion will make our bodies taut with power,we shall stamp our feet with new powerand old things will fall down,we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.
