Paulus Potter, The Spotted Horse, 1653.
A BLESSING (James Wright)
I realised that what I was looking for tonight was simply a beautiful, optimistic poem which would speak for itself. This was one which quickly came to mind, perhaps based on its final lines, above all. Of course, I also love the fact that it is about horses (or ponies).
"Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom."
A favorite of mine, too, and a good one for me to happen on today. Happy to discover your blog. Thanks!
