Crossing a single bridge into a village.”

“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (18281882)
