In Memory of My Feelings
My quietness has a man in it, he is transparent
and he carries me quietly, like a gondola, through the streets. (Frank O'Hara)
****
I am an instrument in the shape
of a woman trying to translate pulsations
into images for the relief of the body
and the reconstruction of the mind. (Adrienne Rich, Planetarium)
****
"The rose adorns herself in order to adorn the garden," says Rudolf Steiner. So individuality is not for oneself, but for the world.
***
But because being here is so much, and because all this
that's here, so fleeting, seems to require us and strangely
concerns us. Us the most fleeting of all.
~ Rilke
******
What ceremony of words can patch the havoc?
~ Sylvia Plath
*****
Not only the stars, moon, woods, flowers of which poets sing, but even the
gleaming of a white trouser-button …everything has a secret soul.
~ Wassily Kandinsky, Art in Life, 1913, p. 363
A beautiful thing , though simple in its immediate presence, always gives us a sense of
depth below depth, almost an innocent wild vertigo as one falls through its levels.
~ Frederick Turner

Magpie arrives in our backyard this spring, / interloper, trickster, reclaimer / to old scavaging grounds long adandoned, / he returns in tuxedo with long slender tail / barking for the dog food we leave out for crow.
