(For Aline)
Homer, they tell us, was blind and could not see the beautiful faces / Looking up into his own and reflecting the joy of his dream, / Yet did he seem / Gifted with eyes that could follow the gods to their holiest places.
I have no vision of gods, not of Eros with love-arrows laden, / Jupiter thundering death or of Juno his white-breasted queen, / Yet have I seen / All of the joy of the world in the innocent heart of a maiden.
