Reference note:
Folsom inscribed Hughes’ text into paste papers while they were still wet.

"The earth-meaning

Like the sky-meaning

Was fulfilled.

We got up

And went to the river,

Touched silver water,

Laughed and bathed

In the sunshine.

Day

Became a bright ball of light

For us to play with,

Sunset

A yellow curtain,

Night

A velvet screen.

The moon,

Like an old grandmother,

Blessed us with a kiss

And sleep

Took us both in

Laughing."
