Favorite Poem: D.H. Lawrence – “Glory of Darkness”

Blue and dark
Bavarian gentians, tall ones
make a dark-blue gloom
in the sunny room

They have added blueness to blueness, until
it is dark; beauty
blue joy of my soul
Bavarian gentians
your dark blue gloom is so noble!

How deep I have gone
dark gentians
since I embarked on your dark blue fringes
how deep, how deep, how happy!
What a journey for my soul
in the dark blue gloom
of gentians here in the sunny room!
