Wanting a Child, Jay Deshpande

Wanting a Child Jay Deshpande   Here in California, we can drive through any landscape, field, flower, forest, all in reach,  at sunset, affording not to notice the exhaust left in our stead. A daytrip takes us to the edge of the continent, leaning out over some precipice, looking back. We are home by dinner, the house soft colour, where our bodies move through dark’s thin language and something calls, urgently, from after. Some days I don’t know if it’s fair of me, built as I am, a man, unable to carry every inch of an idea into the future. In Gubbio, each spring brings the same pageant. Up hills of the medieval town, up streets obscured by screaming crowds,...

A work of Percy Bysshe Shelley that exemplifies English Romanticism in all its extremes.

Hymn to Intellectual Beauty BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY The awful shadow of some unseen Power          Floats though unseen among us; visiting          This various world with as inconstant wing As summer winds that creep from flower to flower; Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain shower,                 It visits with inconstant glance                 Each human heart and countenance; Like hues and harmonies of evening,                 Like clouds in starlight widely spread,                 Like memory of music fled,                 Like aught that for its grace may be Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery. Spirit of BEAUTY, that dost consecrate          With thine own hues all thou dost shine upon          Of human thought or form, where art thou gone? Why dost thou pass away...
