Happy birthday, Mr. Cohen. I'm turning 50 today, and still listening with the same feelings to your earliest songs as I did when I became a fan at 15.

In my house there is a cave;
In the cave, there's nothing at all.
Pure emptiness, really wonderful;
Glorious and splendid, bright as the sun.
-- Han Shan (c. 730)

My old darling, my friend, my heart
breathes and you stand fastened, inhaling
the world as huge as the hole in the night
reclining on this causeless release
where amazing grace swells and hell's
on the other side of forever, for at least
this moment, this lasting instant
and all the love, the need, the wanting
of it all, now consonant, now pacific, now
the silent mother-of-pearl moon swirling,
tumbling down to kiss your wounded words,
illuminated, not simply by light, but the price
of honouring the bearing the soul bestows.
