            "Everything looks permanent until its secret is known."


        The flying

            perfect

   an orchard

permanence

           in degrees

"wheel

       without wheel"

                within the common

silence

                the woodbirds

claims and virtues

           forgiven

a history so large

            calamity fades

        

(from The Portable Emerson)
