Bonsai Edith Tiempo
All that I love I fold over once And once again And keep in a box Or a slit in a hollow post Or in my shoe.
All that I love? Why, yes, but for the moment- And for all time, both. Something that folds and keeps easy. Son's note or Dad's one gaudy tie, A roto picture of a queen, A blue Indian shawl, even A money bill.
It's utter sublimation, A feat, this heart's control Moment to moment To scale all love down To a cupped hand's size
Till seashells are broken pieces From God's own bright teeth, And life and love are real Things you can run and Breathless hand over To the merest child.
Questions: 1. Who is the poetic persona of the poem? 2. What is that line in the first stanza that is repeated in the second? What is the difference in meaning between the two? Why is there a question mark? 3. We have the lines "Till seashells are broken pieces/From God's own bright teeth" in the last stanza. What does this imply? How does God show His great love? Can you cite evidences or stories that affirm His love? 4. How is love being portrayed in the poem? 5. In the third stanza, why do you think the speaker mentions that all love is to be scaled down? How do you scale down your love? Give examples.
