POETRY

a revery
Catharine Savage Brosman

We're in a private garden-Arcady.
Cool windmill palms, Cape
jasmine, climbing rose,
live oaks, a fig, the archetype of tree,
magnificent magnolias: all propose
light, leafy thought, while
scattered notes of dread
and pain, remembered, barely interfere
as being spins unceasingly its thread
out of our substance and the atmosphere.
What artistry is on display!-through chance,
intentions, Nature's talent, which contrive
to model the ideal from circumstance,
the lost originals that still survive.

Catharine Savage Brosman is professor emerita of
French at Tulane University and honorary research
professor at the University of Sheffield. Her creative
work comprises ten collections of verse, of which
On the Old Plaza is the most recent. Southwestern
Women Writers and the Vision of Goodness, a literary
study, was published in 2016.
