I suffer in silence, though not alone
kvetching old curmudgeon (me)

ELIOT PHRASIS 1
Languid among the trees and
feathery grass,the all embracing sky,

And thirst oppress.
The tongue succumbs-
To mouth’s barrenness.

I hear the drums of famish,
And feel the heat of the throat.

in himself
 motifs of the lonely
where
