<b>Marriage</b> So different, this man And this woman: A stream flowing In a field. - William Carlos Williams

Падение, вызванное отчаянием,
И без достижений
Приводит к новому пробуждению:
Которое — возрождение отчаяния.

Чего мы не можем достичь,
Что запрещено нам любить,
Что потеряли мы в ожидании — За этим следует падение.

Imagination though it cannot wipe out the sting of remorse can instruct the mind in its proper uses.

Your thighs are appletrees
whose blossoms touch the sky.
Which sky? The sky
where Watteau hung a lady's
slipper. Your knees
are a southern breeze — or
a gust of snow. Agh! what
sort of man was Fragonard? — as if that answered
anything. Ah, yes — below
the knees, since the tune
drops that way, it is
one of those white summer days,
the tall grass of your ankles
flickers upon the shore — Which shore? — the sand clings to my lips — Which shore?
Agh, petals maybe. How
should I know?
Which shore? Which shore?
I said petals from an appletree.
