The plaque says "To Sister Nicholas, Wheeling
The air goes by laughing
And dragging behind it a veil
And a quick benediction of sleeve.
I do not remember
Rejoicing so much in a passing
Moment. Once, in rainlight,
By a mottled barn,
I smiled to see a swallow
Flicking out of light. But now,
Somehow, this vision,
This unworldly blur of grace
Above the humming earth
Relieves the gravity
We live with. Where the light
Recovers, nothing is left
For heavy speech. Even
The road seems pleased,
And follows.
John Savant"
