There is a game I play / with a mirror, approaching / it when I am not there, / as though to take by surprise / the self that is my familiar. It / is in vain. Like one eternally / in ambush, fast or slow / as I may raise my head, it raises / its own, catching me in the act, / disarming me by acquaintance, / looking full in my face as often / as I try looking at it askance. "Looking Glass" (R. S. Thomas) . A nod too, to Aine Divine.
