The Faun Le Faune ~Mallarme Those nymphs, I want to perpetuate them. So bright, Their light rosy flesh, that it hovers in the air Drowsy with tangled slumbers. Did I love a dream? My doubt, hoard of ancient night, is crowned In a many a subtle branch, which, remaining the true Woods themselves, proves, alas! that alone I offered Myself as a triumph the perfect sin of roses. Let us reflect ... or if the women you describe Represent a desire of your fabulous senses! Faun, the illusion flows from the cold green eyes Of the most chaste like a spring of tears: But the other, all sighs, do you say she contrasts Like the warm day's breeze in your fleece? But no! through the still and weary rapture Stifling the cool morning with heat should it struggle, No water murmurs unless poured by my flute On the thicket sprinkled with melody; and the Only wind, quick to escape the twin pipes before Scattering the sound in an arid rain, is, On the smooth untroubled surface of the horizon, The visible and serene artificial breath Of inspiration returning to the sky. (that sandberg poem was great, primordal!)

"All worldly pursuits have but the one unavoidable end, which is sorrow: acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births, in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisition and heaping up, and building, and meeting; and faithful to the commands of an eminent guru, set about realizing the Truth (which has no birth or death)." Milarepa Subject 50522

X-RAY In my mind a lilac begins to leaf. before it begins to leaf. A new leaf is a new moon. As the skin of a chameleon reflects temperature, light, emotion, An X-ray of my hands reflects chance, intention, hunger? you can, in X ray diffraction, study the symmetry of crystals, but here, now, the caesura marks a shift in the mind, the vicissitudes of starlight, a luna moth opening its wings. ~Arthur Sze

The Island (XVII) You pillars of light, mournful and beautiful, sowing the ocean with statues and necklaces, calcareous eye, eidolon of opening water, cry of petrel's bereavement, sea tooth, Oceanic bride of the wind - - O separate rose cut from the rose tree, stripped petal by petal till a sea change was wrought and all was archipelago, green diadem, natural star, alone in your dynasty's solitude inapprehensible to the last, elusive, abandoned, like a waterdrop falling, like a grape, like a sea. ~Neruda, Barren Terrain
