A Hymn In Honour Of Beauty

...it more to mortal eyes commend,
And make it more admir'd of foe and friend:
That in men's hearts thou may'st thy throne install,
And spread thy lovely kingdom over all.

Then Iö, triumph! O great Beauty's Queen,
Advance the banner of thy conquest high,
That all this world, the which thy vassals bene,
May draw to thee, and with due fealty
Adore the power of thy great majesty,
Singing this hymn in honour of thy name,
Compil'd by me, which thy poor liegeman am.

In lieu whereof ...Read more of this...

Five-Per-Cent

...its of Harris tweed, an Airedale and a car;
Your golf clubs and your morning Times, your whisky and cigar.
He'll cosily install you in a cottage by a stream,
With every modern comfort, and a garden that's a dream>
Or if your tastes be urban, he'll provide you with a flat,
Secluded from the clamour of the proletariat.
With pictures, music, easy chairs, a table of good cheer,
A chap can manage nicely on five hundred pounds a year.
And though around you painful signs of industry...Read more of this...

Gangrene

..." The tall 
intense one, his ***** wired, 
 was shocked out of 
his senses in three seconds. 
Weakened, he watched them install 

another battery in 
the crude electric device. 
 The genitals 
of a third were beaten with 
a short wooden ruler: "Reach 
 for your black balls. 
I'll show you how to make love." 
When two of the beaten passed 

in the hall they did not know 
each other. "His face had turned 
 into a wound: 
the nose was gone, the eyes ground 
so far back into the ...Read more of this...

In Honour of that High and Mighty Princess Queen ELIZABETH

...e sack'd, she sunk his Armadoe. 
2.29 Her stately Troops advanc'd to Lisbon's wall, 
2.30 Don Anthony in's right for to install. 
2.31 She frankly help'd Franks' (brave) distressed King, 
2.32 The States united now her fame do sing. 
2.33 She their Protectrix was, they well do know, 
2.34 Unto our dread Virago, what they owe. 
2.35 Her Nobles sacrific'd their noble blood, 
2.36 Nor men, nor coin she shap'd, to do them good.

Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror

...htly and profoundly, and tearing the matter 
Of creation, any creation, not just artistic creation
Out of our hands, to install it on some monstrous, near
Peak, too close to ignore, too far
For one to intervene? This otherness, this
"Not-being-us" is all there is to look at
In the mirror, though no one can say
How it came to be this way. A ship
Flying unknown colors has entered the harbor.
You are allowing extraneous matters
To break up your day, cloud the focus
Of the crysta...Read more of this...

The Lake Isle

...word, and to tidy their hair a bit. 

O God, O Venus, O Mercury, patron of thieves, 
Lend me a little tobacco-shop, 
or install me in any profession
Save this damn'd profession of writing, 
where one needs one's brains all the time....Read more of this...

To Failure

...s met; nor as a draughty ghost
That's seen, some mornings, running down a lawn.

It is these sunless afternoons, I find
Install you at my elbow like a bore
The chestnut trees are caked with silence. I'm
Aware the days pass quicker than before,
Smell staler too. And once they fall behind
They look like ruin. You have been here some time....Read more of this...
