Pierre gave me Louise GlΓΌck's "Faithful and Virtuous Night," for my birthday and we're slowly reading it to one another.Her poems are so beautifully rendered that any description I give it will only detract from the experience of reading it.
This morning I read, alone, aloud, for a third and fourth time, "An Adventure." There is a part, in the middle of reading 3, that I turned the page and the words that were there made me gasp.
If you're so inclined, read the poem aloud. Read it slowly. Read it a few times, maybe over a few days, or the course of the day. And see if it is not among the most beautiful and true things you have ever read.
