Galway Kinnell a poem fragment (1927)

The bud stands for all thingseven for those things that don’t flower
for everything flowers
from within of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness
to put a hand on the brow of the flower
and retell it in words and in touch
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within
of self-blessing
That’s a lovely poem. Thanks for brightening my day
