Ambition and Art

...ne only; 
Wherefore tarriest thou so late 
While I am lonely? 

Thou shalt seek my side with a footstep swift; 
In thee implanted 
Is the love of Art and the greatest gift 
That God has granted. 

And the world's concerns with its rights and wrongs 
Shall seem but small things -- 
Poet or painter, or singer of songs, 
Thine art is all things. 

For the wine of life is a woman's love 
To keep beside thee; 
But the love of Art is a thing above -- 
A star to guide thee.

Easter Week

...ild birds build and sing. 

You, to whom your Maker granted 
Powers to those sweet birds unknown, 
Use the craft by God implanted; 
Use the reason not your own. 
Here, while heaven and earth rejoices, 
Each his Easter tribute bring- 
Work of fingers, chant of voices, 
Like the birds who build and sing....Read more of this...

Paradise Lost: Book 11

...: them the glad Son 
Presenting, thus to intercede began. 
See$ Father, what first-fruits on earth are sprung 
From thy implanted grace in Man; these sighs 
And prayers, which in this golden censer mixed 
With incense, I thy priest before thee bring; 
Fruits of more pleasing savour, from thy seed 
Sown with contrition in his heart, than those 
Which, his own hand manuring, all the trees 
Of Paradise could have produced, ere fallen 
From innocence. Now therefore, bend thine ea...Read more of this...

Pearls

...inful heart,
this clench of inner flesh.

 —Kakinomoto Hitomaro
 from Manyoshu



*

Praise the irritant, that genesis,
implanted within the soft
and malleable animal that bore you.

*

Your brethren strung around my neck,
dangling from my earlobes.
The imperfections the jeweler slights, I praise.

*

Artifact of a biological process,
why do we expect
symmetry from a grain of sand?

*

Praise the oblong beauty
of you, solidified raindrops,
your stony quietude.

The Fountain of Shadowy Beauty

...alled of old the Dark Divine.


 Well it is gone now,
 The dream that I chanted:
 On this side the dawn now
 I sit fate-implanted.


 But though of my dreaming
 The dawn has bereft me,
 It all was not seeming
 For something has left me.


 I feel in some other
 World far from this cold light
 The Dream Bird, my brother,
 Is rayed with the gold light.


 I too in the Father
 Would hide me, and so,
 Bright Bird, to foregather
 With thee now I go....Read more of this...

The Old Homestead

...sparked my sister Sue.
There my mother—heaven bless her!—
Kissed or spanked as was our need,
And by smile or stroke implanted
In our hearts fair virtue's seed;
While my father, man of wisdom,
Lawyer keen, and farmer stout,
Argued long with neighbor Dobbins
How the corn crops would turn out.
Then the quiltings and the dances—
How my feet were wont to fly,
While the moon peeped through the barn chinks
From her stately place on high.
Oh, those days, so sweet, so ha...Read more of this...
