Gretchen
+ Gretchen
- Robert
+ What is the purpose of men?
- It is that which we find in silence.
- What is not ascribed monetary worth?
+ It is to be completely detached from the world.
+ What is it to experience personal change?
- It is the myopic view of eternal horizons.
- What is the past?
+ It is to be completely immersed in fog.
+ What is it to heal emotional wounds?
- It is a conduit through which ideals are transmitted to themselves.
- What is the affliction of those who are blind to fate?
+ It is anxiety of freedom.
+ What is it to walk away from the most significant things in one's life?
- It is the universal affectation brought on by unseen beauty.
- What is a good time? (timing-wise, not....you know!)
+ It is to walk the same path and not know where you are going.
+ What is it to be completely bare?
- It is still here, although very difficult to see.
- What is in the air when two people talk intimately?
+ It is to look in someone's eyes and see who he/she truly is.
+ What is it to gaze at someone from afar?
- It is finely gilded stucco on the ceiling of my mind.
- What is the brook which runs through my stream of consciousness?
+ It is to fall and never land.
+ What is it to say "I do?"
- It is the capturing of ideas through images.
- What is a flower doing on the ground?
+ It is to see inside oneself.
+ What is it to seek and not find?
- It is completed; it is completion

Noteworthy: Answer to question 1 I found particularly funny.....the 10th couplet is particularly interesting because of the situation: Beth had come over to us and was talking to Gretchen, and that's when the question popped into my mind. Although Gretchen didn't know what I had asked, her mind was in a similar place, and so her answer made sense. Also interesting is the last couplet....she and I are in very different places right now, but still the answer has a specific cohesiveness which is interesting even (or perhaps, because of) it's inherent paradox. When you do not find, are you complete?
