“I’ve heard the soul
unfolds
In the chambers of its longing
And the bitter liquor sweetens
In the hammered cup
But all the Ladders
Of the Night have fallen
Only darkness now
To lift the Longing up.” —Canadian poet-singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen (1934-2016), “Born in Chains,” in The Flame: Poems Notebooks Lyrics Drawings (2018)
