Our love for those homely animals was deep
and would figure in the knowledge that such bruises
aren't endless, and that our rib cages are not mere bones. One can die
from grief, so now we can describe loss and love as the Holy Twins.

I am the only one who worries
that my language is hanged,
ropes around its neck?
My tongue is worthless.
Though it speaks
among the deaf, it does wear out.

Emily at her absolute sauciest:
I envy Light—that wakes Him—
And Bells—that boldly ring
To tell Him it is Noon, abroad—
Myself—be Noon to Him—
Yet interdict—my Blossom—
And abrogate—my Bee—
Lest Noon in Everlasting Night—
Drop Gabriel—and Me—

Btwn 1912-1917, composer #Rachmaninoff and poet Marietta #Shaginyan carried out an intimate epistolary relationship. He dedicated "The Muse" to her; she Orientalia to him.
"Minutes of late regret, what in this
world is more bitter than you?"
It's giving Layla and Majnun; I'm on the floor for it.

Which they ate with a runcible spoon
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon

the caribou approaching
two or three days in advance.
