Show me the order of the world, <br />the hard-edge light of this-is-so <br />prior to all experience <br />and common to both world and thought, <br />no model, but the truth itself. <br /> <br /> Language is not a perfect game, <br /> and if it were, how could we play? <br /> The world's more than the sum of things <br /> like moon, sky, centre, body, bed, <br /> as all the singing masters know. <br /> <br /> Picture two lovers side by side <br /> who sleep and dream and wake to hold <br /> the real and imagined world <br /> body by body, word by word <br /> in the wild halo of their thought.<br /><br />Gwen Harwood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thought-is-surrounded-by-a-halo/
