Proverb [HL:50485591]

From Robert Kapilow's “'03: This New, Immense, Unbounded World,” a musical tribute to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, this movement features the powerful poetry of African American poet Lucille Clifton, poet laureate of Maryland: “always flowing, every water is the same water coming round, every day someone is standing on the edge of this river, staring into time, whispering mistakenly: only here, only now.” Recorded by the Young People's Chorus of New York City; Francisco Nuñez, Conductor.
