Every day I see or I hear Something That more less Or
Kills Me With delight, That leaves me
Like a needle h a y s t a c k in the of light It is what I was born for— to look, to listen,
in joy, and acclamation. Nor am I talking exceptional, about the
the fearful the dreadful, the very extravagant– the common, the very drab but of the ordinary,
The daily presentations, Oh, good scholar, myself, I say to how can you help
wise with such teachings as these— the untrimmable light but grow
the ocean’s shine, of the world, out of grass? that are made the prayers
