To Graves at the Winter Solstice “There is one story and one story only
That will prove worth your telling….Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
Do not forget what flowers
The great boar trampled down in ivy time.
Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
Her sea-blue eyes were wild
But nothing promised that is not performed. “– Robert Graves,
To Juan at the Winter Solstice
