QUOTE OF THE SPRING

Let us be tender about the earth.

From the moon: a rounded place and loved

Of blue-spun cloud and watery sphere

Imposed on the glory of scattered stars,

Leaned on the constancy of heaven.

One balance over and we are done.

.

RALPH GUSTAFSON

From "Let Us Be Tender About the Earth" in Winter Prophecies, 1987
