Landscape With The Fall of Icarus by William Carlos Williams
According to Brueghel when Icarus fell it was spring
a farmer was
ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry
of the year was
awake tingling
near
the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself
sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax
unsignificantly
off the coast
there was
a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
