He wrote about birds but it could have been spiders (On a Raised Beach):<br /><br />The inward gates of a bird are always open. <br />It does not know how to shut them.<br />That is the secret of its song,<br />But whether any man’s are ajar is doubtful.<br />I look at these stones and know little about them, <br />But I know their gates are open too,<br />Always open, far longer open, than any bird’s can be,<br />That every one of them has had its gates wide open far longer <br />Than all birds put together, let alone humanity, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-7986583377003683702015-10-03T20:04:03.636+01:002015-10-03T20:04:03.636+01:00Wow!
