From "On the Street Where You Live":

I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town
Does enchantment pour out of every door
No it's just on the street where you live

For discussion next class:

What are the two extremes of interpretation discussed by Paul Ricoeur? How are these related to what he refers to as an ethics of reading?
