the paradox of originality houses many rooms
the views from the windows are all different
invention where there is nothing to see
we remember means finding trace . intricate
and subtle lines wherein "Every force" Mother
Ann Lee of the Shakers "evolves" . a form"
the painters of Lascaux found their horses
wherever a bulge in the cave wall suggested
equine solidity surrounded with elegance
of mane legs and tail unfinished or sufficient
to say 'horse' together prancing legs that are
man's first graph of the verb 'to move'
says nature the very first voice of philosophy
loves to hide always to know how much
the world has taught us to see once we are
quick to suppose it was always waterfalls
before Turner and Wordsworth moonlight
before Sappho without . rhetorical cosmetics
the apple has its history . the word eros
conceals a rose . is a rose
