Can you not sometimes feel how all pasts
grow light, when you’ve lived a while,
how they gently prepare you for amazement,
companion each feeling with images,—
— Rainer Maria Rilke, from “The Singer Sings Before a Child of Princes,” The Book of Images, Trans. Edward Snow.

Ethereal. DK repeats it 5x. Just slides off tongue. Love that word.

Hi David! Happy Easter 🙂
If you love onomatopoeia you can read some italian poetry by Giovanni Pascoli or Gabriele D’annunzio.
