Gold to airy thinness beat II
Posted by tom | Apr 27, 2009Yesterday in the first of this series, I mentioned the painter Makoto Fujimura, but how about John Donne's description of the separation of distance between lovers in travel as Like gold to airy thinness beat?
Our two souls therefore, which are one,
A breach, but an expansion,Though I must go, endure not yet
Like gold to airy thinness beat.
HT to my father-in-law. A poem to remember during our family's various travels and camps/conferences this summer.
