And lo, a ripple: January 2015

Thursday, January 01, 2015

Happy New Year all! We had a great evening last night with friends and neighbours. Lots of good food and laughs! Brad is going skiing in out West at the end of this month, and I'm going to Italy for two weeks in May! Here's to a happy and prosperous 2015!

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.

And lo, a ripple
