"somewhere i have travelled,gladly beyond any experience,your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, or which i cannot touch because they are too near.
your slightest look easily will unclose me though i have closed myself as fingers, you open always petal by petal myself as spring opens (touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose.
or if your wish be to close me, i and my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly, as when the heart of this flower imagines the snow carefully everywhere descending;
Nothing which we are about to percieve in this world equals the power of your intense fragility:whose texture compels me with the colour of its countries, rendering death and forever with each breathing.
(i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) Nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands. e.e.cummings
