a thousand angels making festival
And once, one looked above the wood and saw
A thousand angels making festival,
Each one distinct in brightness and in function,
Which was to choreograph the universe,
Meanwhile performing it. Their work was dance.
Together, wings outstretched, they sang and played
The intellect as powerhouse of love
"A Wood Near Athens," Thom Gunn
[Lake Street west of Ada Street]
