Dedicated to my favorite poem written by William Carlos Williams

This Is Just To Say 

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold


ウィリアム・カルロス・ウィリアムズの詩『This Is Just To Say』から
この詩大好き!!!

ミニチュアボックスシリーズ:Landscape With The Fall of Icarus by William Carlos Williams


Painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"  thought to be painted by Pieter Bruegel

Dedicated to the poem written by William Carlos Williams

Landscape With The Fall of Icarus

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

ウィリアム・カルロス・ウィリアムズの詩『Landscape With The Fall of Icarus』より
絵は、ながらくブリューゲル作と思われていた『イカロスの墜落』

miniature box: "Lucy" by Wordsworth


miniature box: "Lucy" by Wordsworth
11.5cm x 8.0cm


Inspired by the poem written by Wordsworth


Lucy 

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove,

A Maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love.

A Violet by a mossy stone
Half-hidden from the Eye!
---Fair, as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky!

She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her Grave, and, Oh!
The difference to me.


ワーズワースの詩「Lucy」から
