Origin of the Speechless









Inconstant and strong
Unsettled and wandering
Impossible to control

Irresolute, fickle
Willful and restless
Wavering in purpose


Whimsical, capricious
A curious mimic
Never exhausted

A good deal of thoughtless
Swinging through the trees
Followed by

An even longer era of
Somewhat ruefully
Thinking It Over














Tropical Forest with Monkeys
(details): Henri Rousseau, 1910 (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.)
