Heriodiade: Sketches #1

Her eyes not of lakes the lucid depth --
That would be a calm
So incisive as to know itself -- are the rush
Confounding silt upon the far shore,
Rather dragging mountains down
Valleys and lowering heights;

Yet this flow, her gaze,
So clear, that you can see
Each pebble it displaces,
Is as if an air.
