from Pieces of History
Up from wrinkled headlands see her loom
Enlarged by emanations, white as pearl or lime.
The lone surveyor working overtime
Puts away his useless pendulum.
Dream: A letter comes from Miss Thyra Reese
Who drummed the credenda of progress into some of us
And knew by heart "The Chambered Nautilus,"
Asking what have I done with her pince-nez and teeth.
There on the moon, her meaning now one swift
Footprint, a man my age with a glass face
Empty of insight signals back through space
To the beclouded cortex which impelled his drift.
– James Merrill (1972)
