“Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.
But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;”

“I saw some birds. I knew the words for them
and their collective noun. A skein of geese. This cell
is further away from anywhere I’ve ever been.”

“Thanks for the rare road running North
And a day that gave its due,
From the mounting sun on the Firth of Forth
To the moon on the Larig Ghru.”

“One said, ‘Every man drinks his own cup of death.
Whatever road he takes, forest or firth
Or mountain path or moor scratchy with whins,
At the end of the road is the cup brimming with shadows.”

Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind
Hauls my shroud sail.”

slivers of silver in a sea of stone
all that this land had taught us

“Now I re-examine philosophies and religions,
They may prove well in lecture-rooms, yet not prove at all under the
spacious clouds and along the landscape and flowing currents.”

He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they weren't too short.
It looked like there wasn't nothin' that he couldn't pull.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bull."

The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”

This winter when the gales battled each roof and window
He was blown out and into the wind.”

They rise from the bench and their gigantic shadows
Lurch on the shuddering walls.”

“As if with memory of the affray
Far distant, when, as legends say,
The Monks of Fountain’s thronged to force
From its dear home the Hermit’s corse,
That in their keeping it might lie,
To crown their abbey’s sanctity.”
William Wordsworth (1814)

“Looming over my head
Mountains menace my life,
But on either hand, let down
From U-valleys like yarn,
Waterfalls all the way
Quietly encourage me on.”

again and again some god of evening leans out of it
and shares being with me, silkily
all of twilight.”

“Victor looked up at the sunset
As he stood there all alone;
Cried: ‘Are you in Heaven, Father?’
But the sky said ‘Address not known’.”

Or naething else to trouble thee,
But stray amang the heather-bells
And tent the waving corn wi’ me.”

Kill Time! She turns in her pain!
The oak is felled in the acorn
And the hawk in the egg kills the wren.”

“The crossing link never really wanted
to be solved. She knew a snip to the heart
would be permanent and, with one ring
removed, the remaining two would float
as they do, side by side, catches released,
fundamental products of the unknot.”

is your tongue.
Then a butterfly paused on a trembling

Then the gauzy mist relaxed on the ground

Fence me round on either hand;
Through that forest of dead words
I would hunt the living birds”
