"According to Brueghel / when Icarus fell / it was spring..."

"...a farmer was ploughing / his field..."

"...the whole pageantry / of the year was / awake tingling..."

"...near / the edge of the sea / concerned / with itself..."

"...sweating in the sun / that melted / the wings' wax..."

"...unsignificantly / off the coast / there was / a splash quite unnoticed / this was / Icarus drowning"
