Your orange hair in the void of the world
The sentiments apparent
Would you see
You rise the water unfolds
I only wish to love you
The world is blue as an orange
We have created the night I hold your hand I watch
Even when we sleep we watch over each other
Donkey or cow,
cockerel
or horse
I looked in front of me
If I speak it's to hear you more clearly
We two take each other by the hand
At dawn I love you I've the whole night in my veins
She looks into me
A single smile disputes

255
Brandisht some of the maids their thyrsi sheathed of spear-point,
Some snatcht limbs and joints of
sturlings
rended to pieces,
These girt necks and waists with writhing bodies of vipers,
Those wi' the gear enwombed in crates dark orgies ordained--
Orgies that ears prophane must vainly lust for o'er hearing-- 260
Others with palms on high smote hurried strokes on the cymbal,
Or from the polisht brass woke thin-toned tinkling music,
While from the many there boomed and blared hoarse blast of the
horn-trump,
And with its horrid skirl loud shrilled the barbarous bag-pipe,
Showing such varied forms, that richly-decorate couch-cloth 265
Folded in strait embrace the bedding drapery-veiled.

The

hunched up utterly:
Breasts.

Greatly desiring wisdom,

PROCNE (A FRAGMENT)
So she became a bird, and bird-like danced
On a long sloe-bough,
treading
the silver blossom
With a bird's lovely feet;
And shaken blossoms fell into the hands
Of Sunlight.
