The Sonnets to Orpheus

XIII (SECOND PART)

that, only by wintering through it, may your heart survive.

Thoughts for
the Week
and other
Metaphysical
Miniatures
"Flowers are to the
background green
of meadow and forest
what a poem is to the
constant chatter of sounds
which surrounds us.
How strikingly beautiful
they are, these centers
where essences
converge."
