Morris Graves at Woodtown Manor, ca 1958-59, Richard Svare

“The extraordinary gardens that Morris Graves created at his private residences throughout his life were works of art in themselves that deserve to stand alongside his marvelous paintings. Richard Svare’s sensitively crafted book offers an unprecedented insight into Morris Graves’ personal artistic environment.” Ray Kass, author of Morris Graves: Vision of the Inner Eye,  Braziller, NY, 1983

Afterlife

Now we share everything—

seven petals, seven seas,

seven words like moths

wet with the night. You give me something

I give you, feeding doubt, faith

obscured by the living rain.

The leaves gather what we make

of the yellow bells at dawn,

the horizon ringing us

plural. Seven clouds oblivious

to the seven cathedrals of the sun—

we struck an accord, you and me,

with the scent of an orchid, a shape

we discover in nearby nebulae.

Shattered beauty, unraveling,

every day rings

in seven songs without a name.
