On which winged spirals clasp and bend each other:
And           slide backwards towards the centre,
After a too-brief release.
Who are you, sweet boy, with cheeks yet

On some far gossamer cloud, with           eye,
Fearing to see it vanish in the sky,
So, floating, wandering Cloud-Soul, I watch thee.

Till all its armament were turned to rust,
Nor waked it to this day of hideous hate,
Of man's red murder and of woman's woe!
