Given Valentine

Given as I am
Given as we are
To vague exclamations
 
Of pleasure or terror
At the landscape painters
Of the coming centuries
 
And to now how many
Cloudy enthusiasms
For uncertain conclusions
 
On papyrus and clay
Disputing the ancient oracles
With unspiritual science
 
And all for a little tenderness
Or a moment of recognition
Which could happen any day
