Into Deep Light Comments

BLUE is a remarkable color. In Georg Trakl's poems it always means a spiritual and benevolent presence is nearby. Here are random examples: A BLUE CLOUD IS YOUR COUNTENANCE UPON ME. / YOUR WIDE BLUE EYES MIRROR THE SLUMBER OF LOVERS. / OH, THE DWELLING IN THE SOUL-CHARGED BLUE OF NIGHT. And T.S.Elot: THE SILENT SISTER VEILED IN WHITE AND BLUE / BENT HER HEAD AND SIGNED BUT SPOKE NO WORD / BUT THE FOUNTAIN SPRANG UP AND THE BIRD SANG DOWN / REDEEM THE TIME, REDEEM THE DREAM , , , , And now Cefai's BLUE The deep blue light of night brings rest to everything. There seems to be no movement, even the movement of the consciousness appears to have stopped, so that thoughts which might disturb the quality of sleep are stilled. THE DAWN WITHDRAWS HER POTENCY - Amazing! for another celestial body to give up its perogative so that sleep can bring universal rest. And the stars exchange their MISIC OF THE SPHERES for LULLABIES. What cosmic cooperation!
