Life Is Motion

by Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens

In Oklahoma,
Bonnie and Josie,
Dressed in calico,
Danced around a stump.
They cried,
'Ohoyaho,
Ohoo' ...
Celebrating the marriage
Of flesh and air.

    Folly And Wisdom
    by Patience Worth
    On a certain day of a certain spring, In a certain garden, youthed I stood, Filled of hope, with joy a-spurting. Oh, this is spring! said I. This is morning; this is summertime.
