My Creed

I believe in Pablo Picasso, all powerful, creator of the sky and the earth; I believe in Charlie Chaplin, son of violets and the mice, who was crucified, dead and buried by time, but who comes to life every day in the hearts of mankind; I believe in love and the arts as a way to enjoy a lasting life, I believe in the crickets that fill the night with magical crystals; I believe in the grinder who lives to make golden stars on his marvelous wheel, I believe in the aerial quality of the human being, represented by the memory of Isadora Duncan beating her wings like a wounded dove under the skies of the Mediterrarean; I believe in the chocolates coins which I secretly treasure under the pillow of my childhood ; I believe in the table of Orpheus, I believe in the magic of music, I who in the hours of my anxiety saw the magic of Faure's Pavane, who saw the sweet Euricide appear free and radiant from the infernal depths of my soul; I believe in Rainer Maria Rilke, hero of man's struggle towards beauty, who sacrified his life in the act of cutting a rose for a woman; I believe in the flowers which bloomed over the adolescent cadaver of Orphelia; I believe in Achilles' silent tears while facing the ocean, I believe in the far off thin ship which left a century ago to keep an appointment with the dawn, its captain, Lord Byron, bearing the sword of the archangels, and the dog, in the stars surrounding his forehead; I believe in Ulysses' dog, in the smilling cat of Alice in Wonderland, in Robinson Crusoe's parrot, in Beralfiro, Roland's horse, and the bees who built the hive in the heart of Martin Tinajero; I believe in friendship as the greates invention of mankind, I believe in the creative powers of the people, I believe in poetry-finally- I believe in myself since I know that there is someone who loves me.

First Activity Look for the meaning of the following words in the poem. ( You can use a dictionary! ) The words are: -Bird -Walk -Worm -Grass -Eyes -Head -Ocean -Butterflies A BIRD CAME DOWN THE WALK A Bird , came down the Walk -  He did not know I saw - He bit an Angle Worm in halves And ate the fellow, raw,  And then, he drank a Dew From a convenient Grass - And then hopped sidewise to the Wall To let a Beetle pass - He glanced with rapid eyes , That hurried all abroad - They looked like frightened Beads, I thought , He stirred his Velvet Head. -  Like one in danger, Cautious, I offered him a Crumb , And he unrolled his feathers ,  And rowed him softer Home - Than Oars divide the Ocean , Too silver for a seam, Or Butterflies , off Banks of Noon , Leap, plashless as they swim.
