Is that dance slowing in the mind of man
That made him think the universe could hum?
The great wheel turns its axle when it can;
I need a place to sing, and dancing room.
That made him think the universe could hum?
The great wheel turns its axle when it can;
I need a place to sing, and dancing room.
...wherein Theodre Roethke sings his praise of Sir John Davies, whose music is the metaphor of being.
