Transcendence Revealed by Jane Merriam de Vyver
How dare we
Break into
Divine Silence
With our arrogant noise
When the beauty
Of a song, a dance,
A flower, an icon-
Like the glee
Of a child at play-
Says more than
All the world’s wise words
So solemnly pronounced
I am second generation American with Slavic roots. During my formative years as a child and young adult, icons brought me into a world of joy and contemplation and icons transported me into a world where the laws of existence were far more harmonious than in our temporal world.
