Oh, and I remembered the poem I wanted to post, by D.H. Lawrence. A lot of his "Pansies" feel like tossed off, barely disguised moralistic blather, but every so often one of them rises above that, as here:


Spray

It is a wonder foam is so beautiful.
A wave bursts in anger on a rock, broken up
in a wild white sibilant spray
and falls back, drawing in its breath with rage,
with frustration how beautiful.
