And, save for a ridge of bent and sand,
Which rose between them and the sea,
The marshes
stretched
on either hand,
And, ever looking, wearied she
Of low sad purple and sombre brown
And, where the rivulets trickled down,
Moss-tracks of vivid green,
And stiff grey grasses which bend and sigh,
As the marsh wind wails and passes by,
And quagmires in between
The firmer ground--and over all
She heard the curlews' dreary call
As they piped eternally.

I sustain you with all my powers
I engrave in rock the star of your powers
Deep furrows where your body's goodness fruits
I recall your hidden voice your public voice
I smile still at the proud woman
You treat like a beggar
The madness you respect the simplicity you bathe in
And in my head which gently blends with yours with the night
I wonder at the

A stranger resembling you resembling everything I love
One that is always new.

Eliot - Rhapsody on a Windy Night |

He held above the altar-flame, and smote,
Cool as one reaping, through the
strained
throat,
My white Iphigenia.

silently

Yet never a breeze did breathe:
Slowly and smoothly went the ship
Mov'd onward from beneath.
