Durer's The Large Tuft
The willows know
how harsh the breezes blow

but you can tell
if they blow sweet or well

willows sagging upon the plain
cannot adjust their smiles again

also, the butterfly of gold
is a beautiful thing indeed
to hang upon the promenade

& boast of &

show off to all the boys
(and thus A Sapphire Peacock also) but

these are dead things & themselves
do not go after Beauty

Odilon Redon's St. John
