Glimpses: "Inside the Water Tower #1"

Photocoyote's lovely photo of the descent inside the Volunteer Park water tower puts me to mind of Rilke:

"Be, in this night of extravagances,/magics at the crossroads of your senses,/the sense they oddly all cohere.

"And when the world no longer knows/you, to the still earth say: I flow./To the rushing water speak: I'm here."

Sonnets to Orpheus II, #29 (translated by H. Landman)
