from Gerard Manley Hopkins poem that

I'd learned and illustrated years ago -

Praise God for dappled things . . .

All things counter, original, spare, strange;

. . . adazzle dim. . .

and from Emily Dickenson

1129

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant—

Success in Circuit lies . . .

The Truth must dazzle gradually

Or every man be blind—

and Shakespeare: dew-bedabbled

Be happy; you're writing from the privilege

of all your wits about you in your old age,

under the thorn acacias by the noon sea,

the light on all the places you have painted

and hope to paint with the strenuous accuracy

of joy. ... Walcott The Prodigal
