Opened my book of poems by W.H.Auden today and the first thing I saw was this, which struck me as a strangely beautiful image:
Altogether elsewhere, vast
Herds of reindeer move across
Miles and miles of golden moss,
Silently and very fast.
[[Another random, and really rather stupid, thing, I caught George Michael's 'Amazing' video on tv today, and it's not as if the lyrics were all that special, probably nothing that hasn't been said & sung (and smirked at by me) a million times before, but still it suddenly struck me... does this kind of thing actually happen? Can love 'save you'?
*self-disgusted* Gah. I blame spring for this... sentimentality. ]]
