"She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;"

Really, all three are short, deep, accessible, meaningful, traumatizing poems.
“The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.”
And Mac Miller, “And all I do is say sorry… Half the time, I don't even know what I'm saying it about…” -Good News

“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
W.B. Yeats

“And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
-Ozymandias - Percy Bysshe Shelley

“…how everything turns away…”
W.H. Auden
Musee des Beaux Arts
Go read the full poem… it’s short.
Pieter Bruegel’s “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” shows a seascape, a ship with fluttering sails, a man plowing, people going about their lives, with two legs splashing in the water in the bottom corner. To be paired with W.H. Auden’s Musee des Beaux Arts
This is my last #pbq post. I’ve enjoyed revisiting poetry for National Poetry Month, and look forward to #SomeHistory for National Historic Preservation Month - I hope a few of you join in.
I’m posting 3 lines from 3 favorite poems, along with this painting by Bruegel. (See alt text)

A hand is placing a small stone on a stack of stones - perhaps a cairn. The larger stones at the bottom look to be granite. The title is in a large white font, and the author’s name is at the bottom. A banner runs across the middle with the words, “not for resale” showing the book to be an author’s proof.
“It’s only those who are scared of the dark
that always leave the light on.”

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

The book is red, and looks old. The word “poems” is written in all capital letters at the top, and underneath it inside a laurel wreath are the words “every child should know.”
“I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face."

The cover of master of disguises is white, with a black picture of a man in a suit with a tie. But the man’s face is a thumbprint. Upon further reflection, the man’s suit is also made of thumb prints or fingerprints. As is the tie. The authors name is printed at the bottom. And the title of the book is at the top.
“And found myself alone on a busy street
I didn’t recognize, feeling like someone
Out for the first time after a long illness,
Who sees the world with his heart,
Then hurries home to forget how it felt.”

Fog
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

The cover of “having been an accomplice” shows the body of a woman in a pinkish purpleish dress fleeing down some old wooden stairs. It is viewed through a window.
The text of the poem, “Having Been Unprepared.”
“He died. He died. The Voice of Voices came to me ‘There shall be no sign.”

This ramshackle house,
And me just the same as ever -
The first day of spring.

This collection of homes has a cover that shows a light blue sky with the dark blue water of an ocean underneath, and a sand beach. A single wave is visible. It is small. And breaking in the middle. The sky takes up 2/3 of the cover. It is a painting of a beach, and not a photograph.
“I wonder, do I wake
from dreams, or dream I wake?
Beneath a sheet, I shake
and clutch my heart,
though part of me - aloof, opaque-remains apart.”

The book cover Cenzontle shows a blue - like the same kind of blue and style used on ceramic dishes - a blue bird, or the skeleton of a blue bird with feathers and flowers.
"Perhaps the butterflies are mute because
no one would believe their terrible stories."

The cover of Madness by Sam Sax is “caution-sign yellow” with spirals of black and a pictogram man missing his head - which is off to the side.

A Bookshop
A bell over the door: a brassy, jangling clang,
There should be no clock. Time is meaningless here.
No book is without worth.

The cover of Wendell Berry’s “Leavings” shows trees in the fog. Or perhaps it’s a picture of an optic nerve.

Days
What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?
