    My hands have held
    apples, and my fingers
    slipped the pure curve
    of pears as they have
    slipped through lace
    and linen to circuit
    the curves of love
    with no thought of why,
    with no thought
    of lust’s cool compass
    or the blind geometries
    of desire.

    —John Wood, section 1 of “Reflections on the Progress of the Western Intellectual Tradition from Thales to Crick and Watson” from In Primary Light (University of Iowa Press,  1994)
