(Forest Palace by Johannes Kjarval, 1885-1972, Icelandic
artist)
“Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us all without words?” ~ Marcel Marceau (1923-2007), French mime artist
SEQUOIA
In the middle of the ancient woods
leaves browse on the sun like gods,
roots tongue the dark below —
who needs words? I find myself
debating silence, and losing again.
~ Leonard Nathan (1924-2007), American poet, translator, and critic
