“To understand what love is
is to be ravished by language, by August
already gone, withdrawn from under the touch
of one who loves too much
each leaf and labors daily to regain
original pleasure–the greenest hue.

— Dennis Sampson, from “Original Pleasure,” Constant Longing: Poems (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 2000)”
