Farewell's
Never Final
by David Nash
Features Editor
Although these lush, fertile spr
ing months hve sung to me in
notes of natural renewal, I have
still felt a growing undertone of
something else: the sadness of
separation from Guilford friends
during the summer. Paradoxical
ly, I've coped with this sadness
by sitting alone at the lake. My
last mournful meditation was in
terruptted by an old friend--the
unicorn.
She was surprised to find me
here, sullen. "I can't believe
you're brooding in a time of such
youth and hope for nature. You're
in a sick state-your face is as
long as mine"- (attempt to
create humor. My unicorn fan
cied herself to be a comedienne,
like Phyllis Diller. And I thought
I was a little deranged.)
"How can you make jokes
when I'm about to lose all my
friends until next January?"
"Summer just lasts until
August."
"But I'm Going to London in
the fall."
"Well," she began," asume the
worst. What will you be like if you
never see any of your Guilford
friends again? You will still not
have lost them-will you? You
have shared yourself with too
many people to forget all of them.
Only if you'd never met a friend
here would you have headed
home leaving none. In fact, Even
though you say "farewell" to so
meone with whom you've been
genuine, you will never forget or
lose them. Besides, being with so
meone in spirit is much closer
with him or her than being with
them in person. I would rather
have the inner warmth of friend
ship than the physical presence of
anyone.
"And don't worry about crying
or feeling bad. If someone had
been at Guilford for nine months
and didn't feel bad about leaving,
he has wasted his time. Good-bye
and don't forget to write."
Turning tear-wetted cheeks, I
waved, watching her walk into
the woods.
