Originators like Seamus Heaney:

All I know is a door into the dark

I composed habits for those acres
so that my last look would be
neither gluttonous nor starved.
I was ready to go anywhere.

Rain comes down through the alders,
Its low conductive voices
Mutter about let-downs and erosions
And yet each drop recalls

The diamond absolutes.
