ALL OVER
and
OVER ALL

Intimations of Asia
– an affinity,
not a pledge of faith.
What is transcendent
(all-over and over all)
has the capacity to be
general (all-valid and a common ground).
Eastern and Western
terrain merge one into
the other and the
double continent
– one, for all that –
may be touched
by the one breath
in its ebb and surge
across the landmass.

Franz-Joseph van der Grinten
