seeing

Not "Revelation" - 'tis - that waits, 

But our unfurnished eyes -

being to timelessness as it's to time

being to timelessness as it's to time,

love did no more begin than love will end; 

where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim

love is the air the ocean and the land

(do lovers suffer?all divinities 

proudly descending put on deathful flesh:

are lovers glad?only their smallest joy's

a universe emerging from a wish)

love is the voice under all silences,

the hope which has no opposite in fear;

the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:

the truth more first than sun more last than star

-do lovers love?why then to heaven with hell.

Whatever sages say and fools,all's well

e.e. cummings
