Ron Padgett: On Fire
The afternoon light across the pond
is doing a good job today, the sky
behind them a gray smudge
with a trace of puffery
but the trees stand out in perfect clarity
and here I am, and if I weren’t
I wouldn’t know the difference,
just as, say, Shelley wouldn’t.
“O sky and song entwinèd in a wild embrace
and hid asleep inside the human race,”
he might have said.
It’s good to think of Shelley
as a person and not
the great Romantic poet
who died at thirty tragically,
Percy a young man gifted and serious
with a big heart and an open mind
who wrote some mediocre poems
and a few truly great ones.
Every day I read a few and try
to see him writing them, but
all I get is a dim view of the back
of a man at a table in a chilly room in Italy,
his arm moving slightly,
and in the flickering candlelight a woman
with a sleeping baby in her arms.
From time to time the baby says “Umph”
and another sheet of paper flutters down
with flowing glistening words in black.
Shelley is on fire tonight.

There is a cool pleasure in the very sound of vale. The English word is of the happiest chance.
-- John Keats, notes on Paradise Lost
The shadow beneath the trees, the cool dappled
Days, marking time passing. Light and shade
No longer so easy to keep apart, the dark
Parts invading the bright parts making gray
This moment, always just a moment away
From that moment, the moments bleeding
Into one another until at last they stop.
