THE SILVER APPLES OF THE MOON
Ray Bradbury loved poetry.
You can tell by his titles.
**********
"I Sing The Body Electric."
Walt Whitman sang that song
Long, long ago.
**********
"A Miracle of Rare Device."
Where did he get that?
Kubla Khan knew.
Or, rather, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
**********
"There Will Come Soft Rains."
Thank you, Sara Teasdale.
**********
"The Golden Apples of the sun."
The search of Wandering Aengus,
That is, Yeats.
**********
If you would steal,
Steal from the best.
So I, too, lift from Yeats
A line Ray overlept
To reach his own.
