Gravity


A painting shows Isaac Newton
contemplating the force—gravity—that causes
an apple to fall to the ground. (*)



Gravity

I never tried to see your face,
Nor did I want to know
The details of some lower place
Where I would have to go.

But love is strong as gravity,
And everyone must fall.
At first it's from the apple tree,
And then the western wall.

At first it's from the apple tree,
And then the western wall.
And then from you and the from me
And then from one and all


in "Book of Longing"
Leonard Cohen
