"A Grackle Observed Watching the black grackle come out... into the sun, I am dazzled by an unsuspected sheen, yellow, purple and green, ...until he, unaware of what he means... hops back... and leaves the shining part ...behind, as though brightness must outgrow its... worldly dress and enter the mind... as vision... pure light."
January 1, 1970
