FOCUS: HEARTH

Refocillate, dug up in the colonial dictionary as a word Donne liked: re-enfocus, to warm into life once more, reanimate, comfort. ....Afterwards of joy

sank hell after paradise the wolf in its hole. After

the infinite was the merry-go-round. But the lamps fell and the beasts

were refocillated, and the wool was prepared and the wolf devoured.

—"Dopo il dono di Dio vi fu la rinascita," from Variazioni belliche, Amelia Rosselli

As one turns into another and another, this final "cross toward a more difficult adieu," prospect from steady pine into a fragrant primaveral unknown, mimosal.
