Corona
She wears beauty like a vintage crown.
And it glitters, radiant --
An eclipsed sun whose corona cannot be doused.
How unhurried are her steps!
Meandering with ease along the green paths;
Dainty amongst the blossoms.
And when she smiles,
The oceans pause and the winds part,
The stars dangle from their fixed Heaven,
The mountains speak and the trees shake --
To bask in a little bit of her joy.
She wreaths herself in joy.
And it flows, like dancing liquid
Clad about her body like perfume.
The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
