Misconception.

Misconception. "The particular has no language ..."Eliot wrote.It has its names I must reply.Unity can be tamed ...The concrete cannot be denied.Though he and I do sit apart,we are not in isolation.Eye and heart enough we haveto share in contemplationof the mountain and the spark.Common things we seestay the world the same for bothand never cannot be.Sensing is not commonplace.It munches on communal taste,on there's no Humanity.Soul senses One,yet sees but indistinctly;Mind's-eye measures sunsand bursts beyond InfinitiesThere's much to gleanfrom the particular,(bother not the rest.)Philosophers are often trappedby the impossibilities of quest.In spite of horror from withoutthat streaks and stains,that swamps with pain -WITHIN grows a visual psalm ... ... glows a visual balm:The mint notched leafthe clean crystal dropthe rough-edged seedthe tongue of frog;a spiced sipa blowing cropa pawing steeda licking, yellow fog ...All have i-magic clout.All calm, make mute or pleafor the particular;call aloudtheir least/mostmarvel-freightedbeauties.
