That's a stunning Elizabeth Bishop poem. (http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/639.html)
But me, I don't think it's the one art. There are -- what? -- leaps and slow accretions, too. Ballast that's almost as good as dissolving. Something. God, but it all takes so much homely courage, though.
