Monet's Water Lilies

by Robert Hayden

Today as the news from Selma and Saigon
poisons the air like fallout,
I come again to see
the serene, great picture that I love.
Here space and time exist in light
the eye like the eye of faith believes.
The seen, the known
dissolve in iridescence, become
illusive flesh of light
that was not, was, forever is.
O light beheld as through refracting tears.
Here is the aura of that world
each of us has lost.
Here is the shadow of its joy.

The Irish Potato Famine occurred from 1845-1849.

Achill Sound

by Hiram Larew

When the roads curve like sound

    and dip as if lifting to bow

Whenever all thoughts round or cluster

    or when hearts call down

        is Ireland

And as rich when poor was

    or as wise as bare heads in snow seemed

and as twigs so frail broke into song

    and as true as any blight or potato could be

        was Ireland

So when sand laps the senses

    or salt drips the edges as dreams

Whenever hope streams through such heavens

    and moss comes home

    or hearts beam down

            is Ireland.

The Book of Questions, III
Pablo Neruda

https://poets.org/poem/book-questions-iii

Tell me, is the rose naked
or is that her only dress?
Why do trees conceal
the splendor of their roots?
Who hears the regrets
of the thieving automobile?
Is there anything in the world sadder
than a train standing in the rain?
