Out, out on the hillside, into the ocean sound, into delicate gusts
of wet air,
of wet air,
Fall on the ground, O great Wetness, O Mother, No harm on your body!
Stare close, no imperfection in the grass,
each flower Buddha-eye, repeating the story,
myriad-formed—
Kneel before the foxglove raising green buds, mauve bells dropped
doubled down the stem trembling antennae,
& look in the eyes of the branded lambs that stare
breathing stockstill under dripping hawthorn ...
From "Wales Visitation" by Allen Ginsberg
Approaching Storm at Capel Curig, Wales, Ebenezer Wake Cook, 1892

thank you! (close my eyes, force the office to disappear for a moment, and travel through time and space)
Beautiful! A great post, and from a surprising direction, which is always a nice eye-opener.
Surprising, delicate and wild
