Swift things are beautiful?! help?

Swift things are beautiful


- Elizabeth Coatsworth





Swift things are beautiful:


swallows and deer,


and lightning that falls


bright-veined and clear,


rivers and meteors,


wind in the wheat,


the strong-withered horse,


the runner's sure feet.





And slow things are beautiful:


the closing of day,


the pause of the wave


that curves downward to spray,


the ember that crumbles,


the opening of flower,


and the ox that moves on


in the quiet of power.








i know its about nature/environment for sure


but what does it mean?


whats the message?


ANYTHING WILL DO, please help!

Swift things are beautiful?! help?
I think it is showing us with images what fast is like and then with more images what slow is like. It worked for me.
