When you return, the youngest of the seers,
Released from fetters of ancestral pose,
There will be beauty waiting down the years —
Revisions of the ruby and the rose.

Nathalia Crane

The rose has told In one simplicity.
That never life
Relinquishes a bloom
But to bestow
An ancient confidence.

Nathalia Crane

Treating the sword blade the same as the staff,
Turning the chariot wheel into chaff.
Toppling a pillar and nudging a wall,
Building a sand pile to counter each fall.
Yielding to nothing — not even the rose,
The dust has its reasons wherever goes.

Nathalia Crane

The world is growing gentle,
But few know what she owes
To the understanding lily
And the judgment of the rose.

Nathalia Crane

Said the tiger to the lily,
Said the viper to the rose,
Let us marry so our children
May attain the double pose. With a feline half a flower —
With the attar in the asp
We could institute a slaughter
That would make a planet gasp.

Nathalia Crane

Great is the rose
Infected by the tomb,
Yet burgeoning
Indifferent to death.

Nathalia Crane

Great is the rose
That challenges the crypt,
And quotes milleniums
Against the grave.

Nathalia Crane

In the darkness, who would answer for the color of a rose,
Or the vestments of the May moth and the pilgrimage it goes?
