When the vague form of a vibrant ghost
Arrived to disturb my dreaming, softly
Leaning down to me, pure ivory teeth,
And

Her lips were kissing me, sweet and long,
Mouth on mouth, thigh on thigh beneath.

The highth and depth of thy Eternal wayes
All human thoughts come short, Supream of things;
Thou in thy self art perfet, and in thee
Is no
deficience
found; not so is Man,
But in degree, the cause of his desire
By conversation with his like to help,
Or solace his defects.

Parsifal
Parsifal has conquered the girls, their sweet
Chatter, amusing lust - and his inclination,
A virgin boy's, towards the Flesh, tempted
To love the little tits and gentle babble;
He's conquered lovely Woman, of subtle
Heart, showing her cool arms,
provoking
breast;
He's conquered Hell, returned to his tent,
With a weighty trophy on his boyish arm.
