INTERVENINGBRILLIANCEThrough the Inca fire ofOpal soft and diamond crying,Through the flint-sharp cut of theFrost pierce plectrum,Alone He stands .Spinning vision, patterns of featherweight, with aWeeping oboe changing to laughing brass,High to the soprano blindness of the drifting flute,Distilling the purity of glass .Splitting the crystal spectrum to endless colours,Of ribbons wrapped in ripples and rhythms .Swimming in my head slung back the air,And He is there .S . Webster, U .VI .H .
