Is standing lean and tall
In the late afternoon light

Clean, sharp lines
Erect in the sky
Cutting through the cool, crisp air

I breathe in deeply,
All of this beauty
I hold in for a moment

Lilly & directed by Ken Russell) had to be about you and Rose (with William Hurt, in his debut film performance, capturing "you" to a tee). The three of us saw the film together in 1981 and I remember making that declaration, to your scoffs, at the time. Rose, I think, at least understood why I thought so -- she was disturbed (and flattered, I think) at the resemblance to your lives. That poem and screenplay treat of the same relationship I find heartening and reassuring, if now dated: man, a moth drawn to the blaze of the universe, saved by his only anchor to earth -- and thereby to meaning -- love of a woman. Uranus and Gaia personified. Tentatively, I've accepted that this tale has been lived by others before and since you, but a suspicion still lurks that once upon a time you and Lilly shared trance, and you read him this poem...
