Tomb (Of Verlaine)
Anniversary - January 1897
The black rock enraged that the north wind rolls it on
Will not halt itself, even under pious hands, still
Testing its
resemblance
to human ill,
As if to bless some fatal cast of bronze.

Few roods of ground the piles we raise
Will leave to plough; ponds wider spread
Than Lucrine lake will meet the gaze
On every side; the plane unwed
Will top the elm; the violet-bed,
The myrtle, each delicious sweet,
On olive-grounds their scent will shed,
Where once were fruit-trees

Thick bays will screen the midday range
Of fiercest suns.

What is that sound high in the air
Murmur of maternal lamentation
Who are those hooded hordes swarming
Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth 370
Ringed by the flat horizon only
What is the city over the mountains
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air
Falling towers
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria
Vienna London
Unreal
A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light 380
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall
And upside down in air were towers
Tolling
reminiscent
bells, that kept the hours
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.

And shun the bitter consequence: for know,
