"Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year." This line from Millay popped into my head as I read your essay, savoring the feeling that I was being stabbed to death by beauty. I try so hard to deny mortality and you make it impossible. Thank you.

Beautiful piece of writing. Poignant. I am in the orange grove, the long grass, feel the soft sunning joy of it and the expirare... everything comes to an end, but we have had it and it remains in the dust of us. Thank you for writing it.❤️
