Friday's Pearls in Poetry- 6-26-2009

The Pearl Diver

No one dives to the ocean-bottom
Just like that:
One does not learn the skills involved
At the drop of a hat
It's those skills slow-learnt in the depths of love
That I'm working at.

--8th Century writer Lady Nakatomi comparing the art of love to the art of pearl diving.
