"The Virgin, Child, and St. Anne" - Leonardo da Vinci
I promise I'll stop posting E.E. Cummings poetry soon... I just love this though. And the "abandon reason, indulge in your feelings" tone isn't so off-putting. "Everything / which is natural which is infinite which is YES!" And the penultimate stanza!
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
