Good after moon’s reflection

Water Lillies
“Green grows the laurel on the bank. Dark waves the pine upon the hill. Green hangs the lichen, cold and dank. Dark springs the heart-ease by the rill, Age-mosses clamber ever bright. Pale is the water-lily’s bloom . Thus Life still courts the shades of night, And beauty hovers o’er the tomb and loom.” – Unknown.
Vernal morning

Tyger Tyger
“Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews …

Sublime
Beyond the place of action in its predictable causes, over the awnings of lofty judgemental pauses. Conserved of the senses until met upon reverential swoon, undeterred to inner light, the sheen un-jaded to childlike and sacred moody interludes. Redeemed to be viewed, like dusty letters in the keep of time discovered in a vintage assemble …
illimitable
In this illimitable world, knowledge in the wonder that is known. Holding up as it were, a mirror of consciousness. The reflection to appear, the beauteous bear.
