Circulation Since I started to read Ceremony‚ I have been carrying a question about why the poetry keeps standing out occasionally. Eventually‚ I think I get the answer from the last part of the context. Just like the “Old Grandma” said‚ “I guess I must be getting old because these goings-on around Laguna don’t get me excited any more.
