- I will be the gladdest thing under the sun // I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one // I will look at cliffs and clouds with quiet eyes // Watch the wind blow down the grass and the grass rise (Edna St. Vincent Millay)

Animals are such agreeable friends--they ask no question, they pass no criticisms.

Parkland Flora
At my feet the white-petaled daisies display
the small suns of their center-piece, their--if you don't
mind my saying so--their hearts. Of course
I could be wrong, perhaps their hearts are pale and
narrow and hidden in the roots. What do I know.
But this: is it heaven itself to take what is given
to see what is plain; what the sun
lights up willingly; for example--I think this
as I reach down, not to pick but merely to touch--
the suitability of the field for the daisies, and the
daisies for the field.
