Disputes her ancient rank and space and right,

From bodies flows, makes bodies fair to sight;

With bodies merged in nothingness and night.

Instead of a heart you've a boulder:
Living, you make me waste and shudder,
Impassioned by amorous desire.

H. D. - Sea Garden |

Thou art my love,
And thou art a strorm
That breaks black in the sky,
And, sweeping headlong,
Drenches and cowers each tree,
And at the panting end
There is no sound
Save the
melancholy
cry of a single owl--
Woe is me!

The air lay
lifeless
between the hills, as in a seething caldron, with
no leaf stirring, and instead of the fresh odor of grass and clover,
with which we had before been regaled, the dry scent of every herb
seemed merely medicinal.
