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

-William Carlos Williams
