Morning and evening opened and closed above me:
Houses were built above me; trees let fall
Yellowing leaves upon me, hands of ghosts,
Rain has showered its arrows of silver upon me
Seeking my heart; winds have roared and tossed me;
Music in long blue waves of sound has borne me
A helpless weed to shores of
unthought
silence;
Time, above me, within me, crashed its gongs
Of terrible warning, sifting the dust of death;
And here I lie.

For the first time my spirit

Beating out word by word:
"Take love when love is given,
But never think to find it
A sure escape from sorrow
Or a complete repose;

Only yourself can lead you
Up the hard road to heaven

The livid cancer spread its hideous claws, clinging upon thy

But thou shalt face thy fortunes, thy diseases, and surmount them all,

almightier

Bring in the genial day, while I make moan
Fooled by vain passion for a

Call on the gods, though little it bestead-
The gods who heard her vows and heeded not.
