From my memory
With nothing of language but
O dreamer, that I may dive
All at once, as if in play,
Not meaningless flurries like
Any solitude
When the shadow with fatal law menaced me
The virginal, living and lovely day
Victoriously the grand suicide fled
Her pure nails on high
dedicating
their onyx,
- 'Over the lost woods when dark winter lowers
To the sole task of voyaging
All summarised, the soul,
What silk of time's sweet balm
To introduce myself to your story
Crushed by the overwhelming cloud
My books closed again on Paphos' name,
My soul, towards your brow where O calm sister,
Each Dawn however numb
She slept: her finger trembled, amethyst-less
Frigid roses to last
O so dear from far and near and white all
Mery,
Since Maria left me to go to another star - which one, Orion, Altair - or you
The flesh is sad, alas!

And all its golden porches grew pale with his sickening light

Pale he beheld futurity; pale he beheld the Abyss

All rav'ning like the hungry worm, & like the silent grave

THE apple trees are hung with gold,
And birds are loud in Arcady,

in the fold,
The wild goat runs across the wold,
But yesterday his love he told,
I know he will come back to me.

The October night comes down; returning as before
Except for a slight
sensation
of being ill at ease
I mount the stairs and turn the handle of the door
And feel as if I had mounted on my hands and knees.

They raised her up, they bore the trembling girl
On to the altar--hither led not now
With solemn rites and hymeneal choir,
But sinless woman,
sinfully
foredone,
A parent felled her on her bridal day,
Making his child a sacrificial beast
To give the ships auspicious winds for Troy:
Such are the crimes to which Religion leads.
