which poured from every window

J. M. Whistler, "Nocturne in Gray and Gold," 1876




Sometimes she wanted to push herself through the deluge
Of light which poured from every window, pushed away dark
If only for a while, and glint in through the space between all things
So she might pour herself, dilute herself, with the liquid of these other lives.
