I preferred Donne's passion over Herbert's quiet elegance. And like Ms. Moon, your words are very much "to my ken." That's a beautiful photo of another beautiful LA sunset. And that "kind of tune, which all things hear and fear," sounds like the music of the spheres, another concept that delighted me when I was studying the old poets so many years ago.
