Silver Moon Crystal

    “They unhook their heavy swords
    From golden and silver boughs;
    But all that are killed in battle
    Awaken to life again.”

    “Though it seems improbable on the face of it
    You must master the huge retards and have faith in the slow
    Blossoming of haystacks, stairways, walls of convolvulus,
    Until the moon can do no more. Exhausted,
    You get out of bed. Your project is completed
    Though the experiment is a mess.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “While that the sun with his beams hot
    Scorched the fruits in vale and mountain,
    Philon the shepherd, late forgot,
    Sitting beside a crystal fountain,”
    —Unknown. The Unfaithful Shepherdess (l. 1–4)
