Up fanes--up Babylon-like walls--

T.S. Eliot |

Trying to peer through lighted shutters,
And a crab one
afternoon
in a pool,
An old crab with barnacles on his back,
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him.

If your
protection
cloaks him every way,
Preventing him from seeking to appear,
Where a noble death is sought by honour?

H. D. - Sea Garden |
|
Still sprung from those swift hoofs, thundering South,
The dust, like smoke from the cannon's mouth;
Or the trail of a comet, sweeping faster and faster,
Foreboding to
traitors
the doom of disaster.
