At the Foundry Here is an angel, here is a tiger guarding a nude woman dreaming herself into marble.  Here is a bronze wrestler so big a visitor fainted; hence the removable fig leaf. I could lose myself in this foundry. I am the smallest creature in it. Things come and go, as God invents them. May the molten bronze cool. May the copper rose remember its thorns. May the pewter bird discover its wings. May the brass book lie open, indifferent to time, turning and turning its pages of light. --Nancy Willard, "At the Foundry" from The Sea at Truro (Knopf, 2012)
