1 " trying to translate
into a language that's known
a poem writ
in the language of stone "

― Kenneth White , Open World: The Collected Poems 1960-2000

2 " This is the summit of contemplation, and
no art can touch it
Blue, so blue, the far-out archipelago
and the sea shimmering, shimmering
No art can touch it, the mind can only
try to become attuned to it
To become quiet, and space itself out, to
become open and still, unworlded
Knowing itself in the diamond country, in
the ultimate unlettered light.

A High Blue Day on Scalpay "

― Kenneth White
