I know that there are those who say, "Why doesn't he sing now
with that harmonious madness of days gone by?"
They don't see the profound work of an hour, the labor of a minute, and the miracle
of a year.
I, a poor tree, produced, out of love for the breeze, a vague and sweet sound when I began to grow. The time for youthful smiles has long since departed: let the hurricane move my heart!
-Ruben Dario

Ripeness
 
Ripeness is
what falls away with ease.
Not only the heavy apple, 
the pear, 
but also the dried brown strands
 
To let your body 
love this world
that gave itself to your care
in all of its ripeness, 
with ease
and will take itself from you
in equal ripeness and ease,
is also a harvest. 
And however sharply
you are tested--
this sorrow, that great love--
it too will leave on that clean knife.
     -Jane Hirshfield
