Pond Song 4.60
The Unequal . . . equalizes itself for the sake of the other. G&B 255
Walden is dull I read it anyway__I return to the pond in sleet
ear-stopping wind but anyway__I shall not get cold feet
dark mystery is overfull__I read that in Wei Ying-wu
the wind dies clouds appear__white in the sudden blue
meanders through stiff stalks__a sparrow flits away
Thoreau had too much hope in him__words mean more than we say

“Words mean more than we say”? Not always of course, and too often they mean less than is said! Here however it is fairly said: you give us a fine description but at the same time room to think Tom. Delicately done.
