Once I wondered if ever fish sleep

Once I wondered if ever fish sleep
Dr Abe V Rotor


Fish, pastel drawing by Angelica Mijares, then 9 years old
Summer Art Workshop for Children, SPUQC, circa 2001

Once I wondered if ever fish sleep,
Unless by sleep they remain still
In some quiet pool, like the cow and sheep,
After their fill lie on a grassy hill.

Could either, I ask, bring about man’s ease
And cease his mind to wonder and wander?
And where is that pool or that hill at peace,
Save Flanders, or some place ever after?
