A Motor Courtship

...
I fear from your bearing you're somewhat heated. 

"And I trust that a timely lubrication 
Of throttle will cool your circulation." 

As a well-made mixture she indicated, 
With joy and gladness he radiated. 

"Oh, come," said he, "in this soft spring weather, 
Let us run over the world together!" 

But she slipped his clutch with a gesture mocking, 
"Your heart," she said; "I can hear it knocking. 

"You haven't the gear at my pace to last; 
Both men and motors -- I like t...Read more of this...

Cantico del Sole

...The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation
 Troubles my sleep,
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America,The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation
 Troubles my sleep.

Circulation

...And all at length are gathered in.
 --LOUISE BOGAN

By the time I came around to feeling pain
and woke up, moonlight
flooded the room. My arm lay paralyzed,
propped up like an old anchor under
your back. You were in a dream,

Told me my grandmamma was near;
Whether she praised me high and clear
Through her unrivalled circulation,
Or, sanctimonious insincere,
She damned me with a misquotation -
A chequered but a sweet relation,
Say, was it not, my granny dear?

Oft brought a light into my eyes -
For notice still the writer cries.
In any civil age or nation,

Four Quartets 1: Burnt Norton

Sings below inveterate scars
Appeasing long forgotten wars.
The dance along the artery
The circulation of the lymph

Ascend to summer in the tree
We move above the moving tree
In light upon the figured leaf
And hear upon the sodden floor
Below, the boarhound and the boar
Pursue their pattern as before
But reconciled among the stars.

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from...Read more of this...

The Father of the Predicaments

...uddled there
Knew what they meant.I had no business

With the things they knew.Nor did I feel myself
Drawn back through Circulation into Reference,
Until I saw how blue I had become, by virtue
Of its five TVs, their monitors abuzz with is's
