Nature
The Back Bay Fens
From Pictures of the Floating World (1919): Planes of Personality
Nature
THROUGH the Spring-thickened branches
I see it floating,
An ivory dome
Headed to gold by the dim sun.
It hangs against a white-misted sky,
And the swollen branches
Open or cover it,
As they blow in the wet wind.
