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

ReplyDeleteOh my, YEATS! Yay! And I would spread silver and gold, and golden light at your feet, were I not poor in word and coin, but send my light filled thought to you, an artist of such sensitivity and craft that appreciation most sincere seems not enough. What a beautiful piece.
