The Wind is a Bold Painter
[/NDER a ragged sky The mountains seem to run Even faster than the storm wind; On that dark day too The waterfall seems a thing frozen; Such stillness is in moving things, Such motion in things fixed. The forest ruffles like a girl’s hair Or a hay pasture just before cutting. The wind is a bold painter, A juggler with abstract form; His theory is quite recklessAnything goes-and you like it; Cloud, tree, hill, and sky Binds in wild patterns that are match-
less.
