Aeneas (for his father's love could not
permit his mind to rest) now quickly sends
Achates to the Trojan ships, to carry
these tidings to Ascanius, to lead
Aeneas' son up to the walls of Carthage:
all his paternal love and care are for
Ascanius. He also tells Achates
to bring back gifts snatched from the wreck of Troy:
a tunic stiff with images of gold,
and then a veil whose fringes were of saffron
acanthus – these once worn by Argive Helen,
who had borne them off to Troy and her unlawful
wedding when she had fled Mycenae – splendid
gifts of her mother Leda; and besides,
the scepter that had once been carried by
Ilione, eldest of Priam's daughters,
a necklace set with pearls, and then a crown
that had twin circlets set with jewels and gold.
And hurrying to do all he was told,
Achates made his way down to the boats. 

– Aeneas summons Ascanius, from Book I of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)

from Paideia

When I am gone and exist only in my poems,
my line shall celebrate my days,
insisting that my acts were brave as any man's,
that my thoughts were complex as another's,
my loves as desperate, as intense.
Adroit, self-confident, and sly,
my poems are my children.
They know how to lie.

– George Bradley (1996)

"The neighbourhood around Wall Street has been the commercial center of New York City since colonial times.  Before moving inside, brokers gathered outdoors to trade goods and stocks at various markets.  The American Stock Exchange, one of many exchange places in the area, moved to an indoor space only in 1921.  Until then, as Joseph Petrocelli captured in this image, brokers challenged bad weather at the curbside market on Broad Street, shouting and gesticulating in order to communicate their transactions."

from Time is a Ripple's Ring

Their fragile bodies intertwined,
Their drifting hair unbound . . .

from Rain

Toward evening, as the light failed
and the pear tree at my window darkened,
I put down my book and stood at the open door,
the first raindrops gusting in the eaves,
a smell of wet clay in the wind.
