take gentle care of yourself

And our mansions of white may end up looking like the above. But...how amazing is that?

The rose is obsolete

but each petal ends in

an edge, the double facet

cementing the grooved

columns of air -- The edge

cuts without cutting

meets -- nothing -- renews

itself in metal or porcelain --

whither? It ends--

But if it ends

the start is begun

so that to engage roses

becomes a geometry--...

Somewhere the sense

makes copper roses --

steel roses--

William Carlos Williams "The Rose"
