The Fall of Icarus by Bruehgal |
Landscape with the Fall of Icarus
William Carlos Williams
According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring
when Icarus fell
it was spring
a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry
his field
the whole pageantry
of the year was
awake tingling
with itself
awake tingling
with itself
sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax
that melted
the wings' wax
unsignificantly
off the coast
there was
off the coast
there was
a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
this was
Icarus drowning
William Carlos Williams
