BEAUTY, by KENNETH SLADE ALLING
First Line: To catch some fragment from her hands
Last Line: Whose thoughts are all the mysteries?
Subject(s): Beauty
First Line: To catch some fragment from her hands
Last Line: Whose thoughts are all the mysteries?
Subject(s): Beauty
To catch some fragment from her hands
That else would fall into the sands
And lie lost and disintegrate:
For this I wait: for this I wait.
Even her casual aspects are
Vivid and lovely as a star;
Aspects that turn, retire and change
Through unimaginable range.
Is she the universe or only
An entity austere and lonely,
Whose moods are moon and colored seas;
Whose thoughts are all the mysteries?
