Day is a type when visible

objects change then put

on form but the anti-type

That thing not shadowed

The way music is formed of

cloud and fire once actually

concrete now accidental as

half truth or as whole truth

Is light anything like this

stray pencil commonplace

copy as to one aberrant

onward-gliding mystery

A secular arietta variation

Grass angels perish in this

harmonic collision because

non-being cannot be ‘this’

Not spirit not space finite

Not infinite to those fixed—

That this millstone as such

Quiet which side on which—

Is one mind put into another

in us unknown to ourselves

by going about among trees

and fields in moonlight or in

a garden to ease distance to

fetch home spiritual things

That a solitary person bears

witness to law in the ark to

an altar of snow and every

age or century for a day is
