...eir hidden wings and drops of sound 
Break on my ears their crests of throbbing air. 

Pure in the haze the emerald sun dilates, 
The lips of sparrows milk the mossy stones, 
While white as water by the lake a girl 
Swims her green hand among the gathered swans. 

Now, as the almond burns its smoking wick, 
Dropping small flames to light the candled grass; 
Now, as my low blood scales its second chance, 
If ever world were blessed, now it is....Read more of this...

...awky girl, 
Recalled so primly in my foreign thoughts, 
Becomes again the green-haired queen of love 
Whose wanton form dilates as it delights. 

Her rolling tidal landscape floods the eye

Abandon this doomed town, 
Crawl through a sewer and flee.

...the faint chimes and the thrice-sequent bell. 
Over the crowd his eye uneasy roves. 
He sees a plume, a fur; his heart dilates -- 
Soars . . . and then sinks again. It is not hers he loves. 
She will not come, the woman that he waits. 


Braided with streams of silver incense rise 
The antique prayers and ponderous antiphones. 
`Gloria Patri' echoes to the skies; 
`Nunc et in saecula' the choir intones. 
He marks not the monotonous refrain, 
The priest that serves nor him th...Read more of this...
