Seeing slivery-white flowers blossoming in yellow fields,
where a troop of horses is trotting home, it is hard not to
admire those who believe in a deathless god.

On this path, steep as a widow’s peak, the gulf between
word and flesh would blunt the needles of an evergreen
tree. I know what "the style of old age" isn't, but not the
work that remains to be done.
