Radiant the delayed calmness,
—Do you feel it, I said. —Yes, you said,
...
Every day came, the char of silence and beauty,
brick foundations of what was here, dirt roads
cut through pines, rivers and the dust of the dead,
...
Through the colonnades of oak
arched over the cold road, I drive through rain
filtered through the moss cathedral—
...
Such weight, Little Vienna,
snow falling across Europe, villages
lost to avalanche. People who return
...
Many things have been done
And many hours merged into so many days
Since I last had time to write you.
