"To fight gravity is a tour de force. The nature of the stone is weight. In a sense
I am led against my better judgement in attemting out of contradictions to draw
new emphasis. The deepest values are to be found in the nature of each medium.
The question is how to transform not destroy this"

Summer

At evening the complaint of the cuckoo
Grows still in the wood.
The grain bends its head deeper,
The red poppy.

Darkening thunder drives
Over the hill.
The old song of the Cricket
Dies in the field.

The leaves of the chestnut tree
Stir no more.
Your clothes rustle
On the winding stair.

The candle gleams silently
In the dark room;
A silver hand
Puts the light out;

Windless, starless night.
