dov, who always buys the best gifts, gave me a collection of 100 of the poems that have been appearing on the subways and buses for the past few years. he apparent;y noted my obsessive copying of them into various notebooks strewn around my former life 9ie, when i was still an artist).
2 i'd like to share tonight.
Thank You, My Dear
Thank you, my dear
You came, and you did
well to come: I needed
you. You have made
love blaze up in
my breast --- bless you!
Bless you as often
as the hours have
been endless to me
while you were gone.
Sappho (c. 600 B.C.)
Translated from the Greek by Mary Barnard
Jamesian
Their relationship consisted
In discussing if it existed.
