I loved the last line particularly: "the bigger the window, the more it trembles" about how knowledge somehow makes us vulnerable despite the power it gives us too. Here's a good one too. I love that last visual. Kooser's poems close with a "click": A Birthday Poem Just past dawn, the sun stands with its heavy red head in a black stanchion of trees, waiting for someone to come with his bucket for the foamy white light, and then a long day in the pasture. I too spend my days grazing, feasting on every green moment till darkness calls, and with the others I walk away into the night, swinging the little tin bell of my name. Ted Kooser
