Rock and no water and the sandy road

Blessed sister, holy mother, spirit of the [[fountain]], spirit of the garden, 
Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood 
Teach us to care and not to care 
Teach us to sit still 
Even among these rocks, 
Our peace in His will 
And even among these rocks 
Sister, mother 
And spirit of the river, spirit of the sea, 
Suffer me not to be separated 

And let my cry come unto Thee.

Where are the eagles and the trumpets?  
  
Buried beneath some snow-deep Alps.
Over buttered scones and crumpets  
Weeping, weeping multitudes

crown i' th' middle, and gavest away both parts, thou borest
thy *** o' th' back o'er the dirt. Thou hadst little wit in thy

Who would hang from the domed ceiling of his house <br /> A figure of the world with colours in it <br />
So that the figure of the universe <br />
And ‘not just single things’ would meet his sight <br />

When he walked abroad. As from his small window <br /> 
The astronaut sees all he has sprung from, <br />
The risen, aqueous, singular, lucent O <br />
Like a [[Magnification|magnified]] and buoyent [[ovum]]<br />  

Or like my own wide pre-reflective stare <br />
All agog at the plasterer on his ladder <br />

With his trowel point, letter by strange letter. <br />

A DRINK OF WATER

She came every morning to draw water
Like an old bat staggering up the field:
The pump's whooping cough, the bucket's clatter
And slow diminuendo as it filled,
Announced her. I recall
Her grey apron, the pocked white enamel
Of the brimming bucket, and the treble
Creak of her voice like the pump's handle.
Nights when a full moon lifted past her gable
It fell back through her window and would lie
Into the water set out on the table.
Where I have dipped to drink again, to be
Faithful to the admonishment on her cup,
Remember the Giver fading off the lip.

-- Seamus Heaney
