Sparce and utterly beautiful
rare, of pure texture,
beautiful space and line,
marble to grace
your inaccessible shrine.
*sigh*

I confess to liking leaner poems better than fatter ones. (You're not going to see a lot of Romantics in here.) I always think of "eating" poems, the way the syllables feel in my mouth when I say them. This one is slightly crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.

I see what you mean,because most of the time I like poems the leaner the better,too. Still, I have the odd liking for a Schiller,a Goethe,ONE Wordsworth(for sentimental reasons)and A LOT of Shakespeare, none of them Romantics but nevertheless quite "wordy"

I must confess to having now sat here for 10 minutes, rereading this - and I still have absolutely no idea what it's about. I am, as it were, completely dished. Gorgeous, but befuddling. These words are going to hang around my head all day, I think, until I can wring from them sense, or some feeling other than a vague impression of impotence. :-)

I know exactly how you feel. :-D Sometimes you just have to leave them alone for a while.

Hey, you made me make a Portishead icon. You were listening to them one night not too long ago, so I had the words rattling in my brain. Dern you to heck. ;-)

Bwahaha *feels influential* :-D. I was actually just going to compliment that icon... it's gorgeous. Breathe on, sister, breathe on... oh dear, now I'VE got it in my head!

God, I love that song! :-) I wore a rut in it when I first got that CD. rewind!rewind!rewind!rewind!

You'll laugh, probably, but out of the whole thing... what really grabbed me, was this:

Completely off-topic, but I found you via and I just wanted to say that you have one of the best collections of icons I have seen!

So many of them had me laughing.
