For some reason, it didn't grab me the first time I read it. I must've been distracted, 'cause coming back a second time I wondered how I missed it.<br /><br />It calls to mind Thoreau and The Moody Blues and the Canticle of Zechariah, and my own recent attempts to be up early to see the beauty of dawn.<br /><br />Also, that was my question.Dauvit Balfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12543093128734164639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32859064.post-19189444424927131492011-02-14T08:38:03.036-05:002011-02-14T08:38:03.036-05:00+JMJ+

Am especially glad to see the word "iconic" used not to describe some ephemeral celebrity, but used in a manner closer to its original meaning!<br /><br />In form and shape, it reminds me of the two Catholic Victorians, Coventry Patmore and Francis Thompson. Rhymed lines of deliberately varied length. This is a far better poem than my own effort this month, <i>quod vide</i>.Thomas Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217297262702709978noreply@blogger.com
