Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book of poems shares the top spot in my bookcase with Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". They are accessible, highly perceptive, pertinent and intensely personal. My favorites are:
"FIDELITY" - "...The wonderful slow flow of the sapphire..."
"GOD IS BORN" - "...And so we see, God is notuntil he is born. And also we seethere is no end to the birthof God."
"SHIP OF DEATH" (Appendix III version) -"...Pulling the long oars of a lifetime's courage, ...and eating the brave bread of a wholesome knowledge..."
"GRIEF" - "...How am I clotted togetherOut of this soft matrix...The air, the flowing sunshine and bright dust..."
"WEDLOCK" - "...How sure the future is within me.I am like a seed with a perfectflower enclosed..."
Finally, as a scientist I marvel at his intuitive grasp of relativity in "SPACE" and "RELATIVITY" - ..."As if the atom were an impulsive thingalways changing its mind."
I would be delighted to share my enthusiasm with other readers.
