Hoffman Plaza adjacent to South AmboyMiddle High School.Maxwell on His PorchMaxwell is sitting on his porch,His eyes are closed but he isn’t sleeping.Neither the present nor the future,Have any more use for him:The one liquid, always flowing,Who can ever hold? And the other,Exactly like gas, always invisible,Who can even see?What the years have taught him,Is this: ever unchanging, ever unchangeable,The past is the only solidWe can ever know, showed him,How parts of it can easily hardenInto rubies, into diamonds. Just now.He is sifting through just such memories,Slowly, slowly turning some this wayAnd that way like jewels droppedFrom a satin bag.Jerry Shonda2020 HolocaustRemembranceProjectSOUTH AMBOY - CollegiumMusicum presents the 2020Holocaust Remembrance Projectwith a Virtual Concert onThursday, November 19, 2020at 6:30 p.m. The concert featuresmusic, arts and poetryfrom Theresienstadt (TerezinConcentration Camp 1941-1945.Zoom Meeting ID:81958739510Password: 192079This event is free and opento the public.
