...f the City of Pain,
where in the false silence created from too much noise,
a thing cast out from the mold of emptiness
swaggers that gilded hubbub, the bursting memorial.

of the fair. Seasaws of freedom! High-divers and jugglers of ze...Read more of this...

Gives to each mead a neat enamelling;
The palms put forth their gems, and every tree

The Color too remote
That I could show it in Bazaar --
A Guinea at a sight --
The fine -- impalpable Array --

Like Cleopatra's Company --
Repeated -- in the sky --
The Moments of Dominion
That happen on the Soul
And leave it with a Discontent
Too exquisite -- to tell --
The eager look -- on Landscapes --
As if they just repressed
Some Secret -- that was pushing
Like Chariots -- in the Vest --
The Pleading of the Summer --
