Landscape with the Fall of Icarus - William Carlos Williams

 According to Brueghel

when Icarus fell
it was spring

a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry

of the year was
awake tingling
near

the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself

sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning

“As you go on removing the layers…. And layer means identification with something you are not. Identification is taking yourself to be what you are not. To break the identification with what you are not, is meditation. Meditation is the key. By and by, only what you really are remains.”
