We do not want merely to see beauty we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see to pass into it to receive it into ourselves to bathe in it to become part of it That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses and nymphs and elves Today I noticed the magnolia tree in My yard has plump flower buds on it and is ready to bloom though there are no leaf buds yet I ll take the early sweetness windows will be opened so that the fragrance drifts through My house Then I ll lay in bed encouraging My own flower to open and let the scents intertwine Another image from Forest Nymph series by Ellen Stagg
