Togetherness
Whisper in my ear that you love me.
I could certainly use a signification for the worldly
to which I must clutch because
I am only here with this knowledge of you,
My sweetheart, for a lifetime. And I dare dream
of another realm and it makes me mad
with wishes to die now and inherit the embrace
entirely. Now just whisper you love me
And let us dance til the dawn breaks into shards
of pure beauty and togetherness and you.
You are the angel who was sent to keep me here.
Another beautiful evocation:
Another beautiful evocation: but that phrase "shards / Of pure beauty and togetherness and you" deserves to be in every quotation book in every library or database in the world. I have been reading poetry for over forty-seven years, and I can assure you that line is one of the finest I have ever read, at any time, from any poet. You should be so proud of having written that phrase. Wow!

Its funny. I wrote the poem
Its funny. I wrote the poem so quickly, so now that you've forced me to realize what I wrote its like i wasnt even thinking what I was writing, almost as if I have no remembrance of doing it. And then i'm like "oh thats pretty nice. What the heck. An unconscious eleqounce"

That is very often the best
That is very often the best source of such eloquent lines, when it comes unbidden and without premeditation. Eliot said, once, that syllabic rhythms often came into his mind and then formed to words without any planning on his part, and some of those incidents let to his some of his most memorable lines. To me, what you just said in your reply is another proof of your tremendous talent as a poet.

Recently i read "The Four
Recently i read "The Four Quartets" again and, despite being a little stoned on marijuana thus enhancing my enjoyment of the masterpiece, I supremely connected to the brilliant poem. Methinks the more time spent on earth, the more appreciative we become and we can realize, with a new knowledge, the beauty of art increasingly, and also realize we once were less capable to comprehend things, a little ignorant even. But it's a grace of aging, like fine wine.

Glad you have seen the
Glad you have seen the Quartets! Which one was your favorite? I am fond of Burnt Norton, but I also like the imagery of the Dry Salvages.
