(For Aline) <br /> <br />Homer, they tell us, was blind and could not see the beautiful faces <br /> Looking up into his own and reflecting the joy of his dream, <br /> Yet did he seem <br />Gifted with eyes that could follow the gods to their holiest places. <br /> <br />I have no vision of gods, not of Eros with love-arrows laden, <br /> Jupiter thundering death or of Juno his white-breasted queen, <br /> Yet have I seen <br />All of the joy of the world in the innocent heart of a maiden.<br /><br />Joyce Kilmer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vision-2/
