Green Thought

The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find ;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas ;
Annihilating all that's made
To a green thought in a green shade.

from THE GARDEN by Andrew Marvell

Largely grey day, but warm and close. Glancing out the window of my mother's room this afternoon, I saw her sister (Slant's mother) sitting in the garden. A sign that summer is on the way.
