from From the Cupola

The sister who told fortunes prophesied

A love-letter. In the next mail it came.

You didn't recognize the writer's name

And wondered he knew yours. Ah well. That seed

Has since become a world of blossom and bark.

The letters fill a drawer, the gifts a room.

No hollow of your day is hidden from

His warm concern. Still you are in the dark.

Too much understanding petrifies.

The early letters struck you as blackmail.

You have them now by heart, a rosy veil

Colors the phrase repaired to with shut eyes.

Was the time always wrong for you to meet? –

Not that he ever once proposed as much.

– James Merrill (1966)
