Green, blue, yellow and red-

God is down in the swamps and marshes,

Sensational as April and almost incredible

the flowering of our catharsis.

A humble scene in a backward place

Where no one important ever looked;

The raving flowers looked up in the face

Of the One and the Endless, the Mind that has baulked

The profoundest of mortals. A primrose, a violet,

A violent wild iris

‘The One’ - PATRICK KAVANAGH
