A blue whale,
The sapphires of Golconda,
Lapis lazuli vases from China.
The Virgin of Chartres,
The field of the fleur de lis,
An Egyptian funerary statuette.
Young Werther’s frock coat,
Levi Strauss’s jeans,
The stained glass of Saint-Denis.
Hospital walls,
The Himalayas,
The earth’s atmosphere.
Sapphire:
The fifth precious stone on the high priest’s breastplate,
The seventh in the cloak of the kings of Tyr.
And a pair of eyes.
Your eyes.
