He wishes for the cloths of heaven

[gryphon.livejournal.com]

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats

My ears are ringing from the resonance your post inaugurated in my noggin; I quoted the last three lines of this poem on the outside of the last love letter I wrote to my first love.

Thus my post of Berryman's "The Ball Poem."
