And so the snow.
Far away the cactus flowering.
White morning making
my hands sting.
Lilies in a refrigerator
losing scent.
Tell me the weather
wherever you are.
Let snow send its angels—
lay down and wave
numb arms.
Deepening drifts.
We who are left
like mailboxes along a country road
huddle together in the cold
awaiting word.

'You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
'They called me the hyacinth girl.'
Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
Od' und leer das Meer.
-- T.S. Eliot
