Perfectly happy ... talking about Keats.


TO H. F. M.
a sonnet in sunlight

This is a day for sonnets: Oh how clear

Our splendid cliffs and summits lift the gaze—

Were poured and gathered in one sudden blaze,
Then, then perhaps, in some endowered phrase

To tell of you. Your beauty and your praise

Proud and perennial on this pale bright sky;

Of Time, the dusty wrecker. He would sigh
