"I dwell in Possibility"

Henri de Braekeleer, The chimes (1874, Galerie Ronny Van de Velde, Antuérpia)

-

I dwell in Possibility

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands

To gather Paradise –

-

Do cérebro, mais vasto que o Céu

Da exposição na Gulbenkian, que apreciei bastante, sobre um tema que me fascina.

-

This Brain - is wider than the Sky -

For - put them side by side -

The one the other will contain

With ease - and You - beside -

The Brain is deeper than  the sea -

For - hold them - Blue to Blue -

The one the other will absorb -

As Sponges - Buckets - do -

The Brain is just the weight of God -

For - Heft them - Pound for Pound -

And they will differ - if they do -

As Syllable from Sound -

-

Está quase a chegar o Verão!

To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -
True Poems flee.

To make a prairie ...

Hermann Seeger, Picking Daisies (1905, uploaded by Worlgallery).

---

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, -
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few.
