Comments

[melodily]

one of my favouritest favourite poems

[browngirl]

This is a beautiful consolation. I love the very age of ancient things and would be devastated to break one, and yet I would be assuaged by the thought that one such object absorbed my liveliness and tried to respond in kind because it was inspired by me. I hope this made Tamar happy.

You know I am no archeologist, Tamar,
And that to me it is all one dust or another.

Excellent.
