Shall I say Wordsworth—
Skiff of mind in the shallows
All those minnows bright as dimes…
O past tense, call the goddess
We’ll stop here
Step from the boat
Walk across the lilies.
**
Passing houses in any neighborhood—“that looks like my boyhood home….”
It was said of Dante “no other poet knew how to praise or blame with such excellence….” (Was it Benvenuto?)
I walk past houses….praise and blame the memories….
**
“Love insists the loved loves back” (Dante)
Love this moment.
