Light and splendor in the sleeping orchards entering the trees like a silent movie wedding procession entering the arches of branches for the sake of love, love only. From a hill I watched the apple blossoms breathe out of the night breathe silver like fish eating the spheres of air out of the river So the illuminated night fed the sleeping orchards entering the branches the vault of branches like a holy procession Long live the power of eyes Long live the invisible steps men can read on a mountain Long live the unknown machine or heart which by will or accident pours out with victor's grace pours out endlessly perfect weather on the perfect creatures the world grows light and splendor light.
