Grass is stretching, birds are dancing in the spring days.
The willow trees wholeheartedly absorb the sun's rays.
My after-school schedule today is unusually tight.
The first business is, of course, in east wind to kite.

Lyrics
“We say God and the imagination are one…
How high that highest candle lights the dark.”
Wallace Stevens (1879–1955) American poet
"Final Soliloquy of the Interior Paramour"
Collected Poems (1954)
Context: We say God and the imagination are one...
How high that highest candle lights the dark.
Out of this same light, out of the central mind,
We make a dwelling in the evening air,
In which being there together is enough.
“a kite is a victim you are sure of.
you love it because it pulls.”
Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter
