Notes About The Poem

IMITATION(MIMESIS) a complimentary adaptation :in this case inspired after reading an essay by Nicholas Ferrar(1592-1637) the English ascetic of the Little Gidding community(was also TS Eliot's inspiration for the last of his Four Quartets).

Mimesis the Form

The sun will rise,the sun will set,
no more love will life beget;
The day will break,the moon to rise,
no more love,as this life dies;
The Summer heat,or Winter cold,
no more love will this life hold;
The Autumn fall,and Springtime green,
no more again,will love be seen;
The wheat will shoot,the grass will grow,
no more again sweet love to know;
The grape will ripen on the vine
no more,no more will love be mine.

I like the sadness that still somehow is acceptance. Loss also recalls having had. Elizabeth
