...m,
and fade breathlessly while the sea rustles in and out of the
 seaweed;
the birds swim through the air at top speed, emitting cat-calls
 as heretofore—
the tortoise-shell scourges about the feet of the cliffs, in motion
 beneath them;
and the ocean, under the pulsation of lighthouses and noise of
 bell-bouys,
advances as usual, looking as if it were not that ocean in which
 dropped things are bound to sink—
in which if they turn and twist, it is neither with volition nor

Not Heat Flames up and Consumes

...the tide hurry, seeking something, and never give up? O I the same; 
O nor down-balls, nor perfumes, nor the high, rain-emitting clouds, are borne through the

 air, 
Any more than my Soul is borne through the open air,

emitting small cries

and the bodies with it
And the sky did not turn
nor the stars with it
The stars remained fixed
each with its crystal cable
beamed to earth

My first vision of light, 
On the yellow sands sitting. 
The sun was emitting 
His glorious beams 
From Heaven’s high streams.
