Bookish Matters

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

"Tradition"

"Tradition"
Lorine Niedecker
1903-1970


I

The chemist creates
     the brazen
     approximation:
Life
     Thy will be done
     Sun


II

Time to garden
     before I
     die--
to meet
     my compost maker
     the caretaker
of the cemetery
