Explore "Light and Wind" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Where, through the myriad leaves of forest trees, / The daylight falls, beryl and chrysoprase, / The glamour and the glimmer of its rays / Seem visible music, tangible melodies: / Light that is music; music that one sees -- / Wagnerian music -- where forever sways / The spirit of romance, and gods and fays / Take form, clad on with dreams and mysteries. / And now the wind's transmuting necromance / Touches the light and makes it fall and rise, / Vocal, a harp of multitudinous waves / That speaks as ocean speaks -- an utterance / Of far-off whispers, mermaid-murmuring sighs -- / Pelagian, vast, deep down in coral caves.
