For Once, then, Something (by Robert Frost)
Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs
Always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Deeper down in the well than where the water
Gives me back in a shining surface picture
My myself in the summer heaven, godlike
Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs.
Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,
Through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
Something more of the depths—and then I lost it.
Water came to rebuke the too clear water.
One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple
Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom,
Blurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness?
Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something.

Beautiful! I couldn't live there because I would clutter it up and ruin the lines and decor. I'd love to visit there, though. I can't be that minimalist unfortunately.
We are much like you, Joy. It would soon clutter up. And I cringe at what our dogs would do to the floors! Still, I like to dream! :)
Me, too! Big time!
I think its attractive to see, but its a bit too stark for my taste. I tend to prefer a more traditional, homey feel.
