"Four in the Morning"

A sweet, wonderful story from TED:

Rives mentions a poem by the same name in his talk - I pulled out the following stanza because I really liked it:

The hour swept clean to the crowing of cocks / The hour when earth betrays us. / The hour when wind blows from extinguished stars. / The hour of and-what-if-nothing-remains-after-us.

 from FOUR IN THE MORNING, Wislawa Szymborska. See the whole poem here.
