From an interview with the poet laureate, W.S. Merwin:
Q: You write, in the poem “First Sight,” about “late blessings.” What are some that you appreciate?
Merwin: I love my wife, and I love my life here. I’m happy to be alive. I feel very lucky to be able to write sometimes and to work in the garden. That’s quite enough.
… Q: You seem continually astonished by nature, love, and words. What else astonishes you?
Merwin: What else is there?
