Notes on the Art of Poetry
by Dylan Thomas
in the world between the covers of books,
such sandstorms and ice blasts of words,
such staggering peace, such enormous laughter,
such and so many blinding bright lights,
splashing all over the pages
in a million bits and pieces
all of which were words, words, words,
and each of which were alive forever
in its own delight and glory and oddity and light.
I'm girl-screaming right along with you cos I LOVE BOOKS SO MUCH TOOOO!
ReplyDeleteLove the poetic thoughts, as well.
Well I think this sums it up pretty well. Love the picture, too!
ReplyDeleteI love books!!
i laugh a little at your label, insanity reigns in the swamps:)
ReplyDeleteit never ceases to astound me, the power that words hold. it is a strange and awesome power.

oh, this from charles wright:
ReplyDelete"I used to think the power of words was inexhaustible,
That how we said the world
was how it was and how it would be.
I used to imagine that word-sway and word-thunder
would silence the Silence and all that,
that words were the Word,
that language could lead us inexplicably to grace,
as though it were geographical.
I used to think these things when I was young.
I still do.”

Such awesome words from my favorite people!! Thanks for the Charles Wright, Erin. Yes, the swamps are insane this year...the snow, the snow, the ice...usually by this time we've mowed the lawn, swatted mosquitoes and picked our first Narcissus and Daffodils and have Iris beginning to bloom. This year, dead everything and (thank God) no mosquitoes. I'm just hoping the dragonfly babies weren't frozen to death under the ice. :-) I love you all. xoxo
